The aim of this study was to investigate whether LPR could play a role in the persistence of some LNS after total thyroidectomy (TT).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A consecutive case series of 160 patients with multinodular goiter (MNG) candidate for TT were included in this study. Each patient was closely studied for both the thyroid pathology and reflux disease before and 6\u00a0months after surgery to assess the persistence of LNS after surgery.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Only throat discomfort showed a significant improvement (<jats:italic>p\u2009<\/jats:italic> = 0.031) after surgery.

In patients with non-toxic MNG who complain of local neck symptoms, the investigation of a possible coexistence of a reflux disease is appropriate before surgery. Patients should be informed about the possibility that some symptoms can persist even after removal of the goiter.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-020-06223-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,31]],"date-time":"2020-07-31T15:04:02Z","timestamp":1596207842000},"page":"1577-1583","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Laryngopharyngeal reflux as a potential cause of persistent local neck symptoms after total thyroidectomy"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"278","author":[{"given":"Calogero","family":"Cipolla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ina","family":"Macaione","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Salvatore","family":"Vieni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Latteri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Angela","family":"Vullo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giuseppa","family":"Graceffa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2372-4891","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eugenio","family":"Fiorentino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"6223_CR1","first-page":"317","volume":"67","author":"A Pinchera","year":"1996","unstructured":"Pinchera A, Aghini-Lombardi F, Antonangeli L, Vitti P (1996) Multinodular goiter.
