BACKGROUND: With the use of routine @entity460 evaluation, the incidence of @entity459 ( @entity459 ) has considerably increased. The aim of our study was the assessment of the morbidity and the outcome of surgically treated @entity1 with @entity459 . METHODS: The charts of 279 @entity1 (204 female, 75 male, median age: 58 years) who underwent surgery for @entity459 between 1989 and 1999 were retrospectively reviewed. A follow-up was carried out on 235 @entity1 after a mean period of 3.6 years (0.2-10 years). RESULTS: In 148 @entity1 a unilateral, and in 130 @entity1 a bilateral approach was taken. Transplanted @entity3243 tissue was removed from the left forearm of one @entity1 . At follow-up persistent @entity3747 was seen in 30 @entity1 (20 after bilateral, 10 after unilateral exploration). 6 @entity1 (1 after bilateral, 5 after unilateral exploration) revealed a newly developed persistent paresis of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. In 5 @entity1 persistent (1 after unilateral, 4 after bilateral exploration) and in 5 @entity1 recurrent (2 after unilateral, 3 after bilateral exploration) @entity459 could be observed. CONCLUSION: Both unilateral and bilateral cervical exploration for @entity459 have a high rate of success with a low morbidity. Therefore, @entity1 with assumed asymptomatic @entity459 with unspecific @entity854 should also be evaluated for surgical intervention.
