ABSTRACT Solitary thyroid nodules (STNs)/thyroid nodules (TNs) are among the common clinical conditions encountered by surgeons/clinicians across the country. Appropriate management of this condition is essential and crucial to the delivery of proper care for these patients as their outcomes in terms of survival are excellent. Inappropriate management is likely to increase the morbidity of treatment and alter the prognosis for these patients. Hence, in this article, we have devised the flow of management for patients with STN/TN by the latest available evidence from across the globe and the country.
