General anesthesia was induced, after which the neck was prepped and draped with Betadine. A transverse incision was made in the skin fold on the right side of the neck, and was carried down through the skin and subcutaneous tissues. The platysma and strap muscles were divided, and subplatysmal flaps were then raised. The 4.5-cm thyroid nodule was encountered posteriorly on the nerve. It was then necessary to ligate the inferior thyroid artery and vein, the middle thyroid vein, and the superior thyroid artery and vein. The gland was then rotated medially for better access to the nodule. A Harmonic scalpel was used to remove the nodule encompassing the right lobe, which was sent for pathology. The pathology came back as a benign colloid goiter. The left side of the thyroid as well as the parathyroids were left intact. The strap muscles were closed with 3-0 Vicryl, as was the platysma. The skin was then closed with subcuticular 4-0 Vicryl, Benzoin, Steri-Strips, and dressings were applied. The patient left the operating room in good condition for the recovery room.
