Transcervical Thyroidectomy for Huge Posterior Mediastinal Goitre: A Challenging Case

The decision for median sternotomy for retrosternal goiter is complex and proper consensus are lacking. Generally, it is based on clinical, radiological and intraoperative assessment. Among the few known features include primary mediastinal goiter, posterior mediastinal goiter and recurrent retroste...
