Objective To evaluate the safe and rationality of total/near total bilateral thyroidectomy （TBT） for patients with bilateral multinodualar goiter （BMG）. Methods From January 2003 to December 2006, 311 BMG cases were preoperatively divided into two groups, 130 cases in group A underwent TBT, and 181 cases in group B were treated with subtotal/partial thyroidectomy. Results There were 6 and 2 cases in group B respectively diagnosed by intraoperative frozen biopsy as BMG, but identified as papillary carcinoma by final pathology.
