Compressive symptoms due to @entity1374 and @entity5651 have been shown to be associated with increased perioperative morbidity. However, little is known about the risk associated with the surgical management of @entity1 presenting with cervical @entity2850 secondary to @entity1374 . A retrospective review of data of @entity1 undergoing thyroid surgery in a tertiary referral center was performed. The outcomes of @entity1 with @entity2850 due to @entity1374 were compared to those of @entity1 without @entity2850 . 886 @entity1 operated upon between 2005 and 2012 were included for analysis. 284 cases with @entity2850 (study group) were compared to 602 cases without @entity2850 (control group). There was no difference in the duration of surgery among both groups (123 vs. 126  min, p  =  0.75). There was no significant difference among both groups with regard to postoperative @entity3747 (1.4 vs. 1.1  %), rate of recurrent @entity3746 (6.3 vs. 7.2  %) and @entity86 (2.1 vs. 3.1  %). Compressive symptoms resolved in a significant number of @entity1 following surgery. There was no significant difference in postoperative outcome between @entity1 with and without @entity2850 . Therefore, cervical compression due to @entity1374 is not associated with increased perioperative morbidity.
