The thyroid gland is located in the neck deep to the platysma. This
is a broad sheet of muscle that crosses over the clavicle to cover
the antero-lateral neck. Its anterior fibres interlace with the
opposite side, finding an attachment to the mandible and the dermis
of the lower part of the face. The platymsa covers the
sternocleidomastoid and the strap muscles of the neck:
sternothyroid, sternohyoid and omohyoid. In order to maximize
aesthetics after thyroidectomy, surgeons use a transverse collar
incision through the skin and platysma. This book discusses the
surgical procedures taken during a thyroidectomy, and also explores
the potential complications involved. Postoperative outcomes are
also discussed.
