Introduction: Thyroid surgery, especially in the case of a retrosternal goiter poses a challenge due to technical difficulties. Proper surgical technique and effective atraumatic hemostasis are very important due to the possibility of developing complications such as: hypoparathyroidism, recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis, hemorrhage, tracheomalacia. It is often necessary to use additional methods or medical preparations to reduce the risk of postoperative complications. One of such methods involves the use of local hemostatic drugs.
Case report: Below, we present a case report of retrosternal goiter resection with intraoperative use of the TachoSil matrix.
