Abstract | INTRODUCTION: METHODS: RESULTS: We evaluated 40 patients who underwent thyroidectomy with sternotomy. The mean age of our cohort was 48.7 ± 11.3 years and the population was predominantly female (67.5%). One patient required tracheal resection with anastomosis, and two patients required tracheostomy. Multivariable logistic regression analysis did not reveal any patient- or thyroid-related factor significantly associated with the development of tracheomalacia in our cohort. CONCLUSIONS:
