Foundation: thyroid diseases frequently require medical care and the main treatment used is surgical intervention. Objective: to characterize the behavior of patients with surgical thyroid illnesses assisted at the Service of Surgery of the Teaching General Hospital Abel Santamaría Cuadrado of Pinar del Río, from 2013 to -2015. Methods: descriptive, retrospective study which included 312 patients from the hospital Abel Santamaría Cuadrado of Pinar del Río, with surgeries due to thyroid pathologies from 2013 to 2015. The analyzed variables were: age, sex, thyroid diseases, sensitivity and cyto-histopathological specific diagnosis, surgical procedure used and post-surgical complications. Statistical procedures included absolute frequencies and percentages. Results: female sex predominated (85,26 %) and age group from 36 to 50 years old (43,59 %). It was confirmed by means of histo-pathological studies the predominance of follicular carcinoma (29,17 %) and in general from benign illnesses (61,53 %). The correlation among cytological studies and biopsy showed that sensitivity of 94, 95 % and a specificity of 97, 30 %. hemi-thyroidectomy was the most frequent surgical procedure (67,31 %), among the post-surgery complications were transitory dysphonia and hypo-calcemia (9,29 %) and (5,45 %) respectively. Conclusion: thyroid pathologies predominated in female and individuals between 36 and 50 years old and were diagnosed by means of cyto-histopathological studies. Follicular carcinoma predominated and globally benign illnesses, hemi-thyroidectomy was performed and there were few post-surgical complications.
