Abstract
Indicators of effectiveness and quality of care are needed to improve the outcomes in many surgical fields. International and national studies in thyroid surgery have not clearly documented an association between number of cases and outcome quality, but it is essential for the figure of a highly experienced surgeon, able to provide proof of positive outcomes. Therefore, we try to underline the structural and technical requirements in thyroid surgery. Moreover, the need for an accreditation program is outlined.Keywords: Accreditation; Clinical audit; Thyroid surgery
