Abstract
Purpose  Surgeon inexperience has been defined as a significant predictor of deleterious outcome in thyroid surgery; however, the safety
of training programs in which residents are the primary surgeons is controversial. The objective of this prospective study
was to compare the complication rates of total thyroidectomy (TT) performed by residents with those of TT performed by specialist
surgeons in similar patient groups.
