Repeat this process for the other thyroid lobe.

Mobilize the superior pole of the thyroid lobe.

In variable extent, Lalouette's Pyramid, a pyramidal extension of the thyroid lobe, is present at the most anterior side of the lobe.

But the most of SCTC are diagnosed in one of the thyroid lobes, but not in the pyramidal lobe.

The transversal thyroid lobe is reached, and is rotated up to discover and ligates the thyroid vein to separate the thyroid artery.

If one of them cannot be found, the procedure is to remove a complete thyroid lobe on the side where the gland is not found to avoid an intrathyroid parathyroid gland.
