TL;DR: Hematoma is associated with patients who have a drain or hemostatic agent, have Graves' disease, are actively using antiplatelet/anticoagulation medications or have large thyroids, and surgeons should consider these factors when individualizing patient disposition after thyroidectomy.

TL;DR: WDTC can manifest with highly variable and unusual clinical features and rare sites of metastases should be considered in the absence of the more common extra-cervical disease recurrence locations.

TL;DR: The thyroid is the largest of the endocrine glands and by far the most common site of all primary endocrine cancers, however, thyroid cancer is relatively rare, accounting for only 1% of all cancers.

TL;DR: Because negative SLNs correlate strongly with a negative central compartment (100% in this study, P < .001), this technique can be used as an intraoperative guide when determining the extent of surgery necessary in cervical level VI.
