Hemithyroidectomy is performed for thyroid nodules when cytology of the nodule is equivocal or when follicular cells are seen, as follicular adenomas cannot be differentiated from follicular carcinomas by cytological assessment. Total thyroidectomy is performed for thyroid cancers contained within the thyroid. If there is spread to the local lymph nodes then a central compartment node clearance should be performed.
