| Abstract: | In a group of 48 highly selected patients, thyroid surgery was performed on an outpatient basis. It was found to be a safe, cost-effective procedure, convenient for both the patient and the surgeon. Economic factors, although definitely a consideration, were not the compelling reason to perform thyroidectomy in this manner. |
