Introduction: Guantanamo does not specify the surgical treatment of patients with thyroid tumors. Objective: to specify the surgical treatment of patients with thyroid nodules in the General Surgery Department of the General Teaching Hospital "Dr. AgostinhoNeto"during the period 2016-2018. Method: a descriptive, prospective and longitudinal study was made. The results of the paraffin biopsy, TIRADS classification (ThyroidImaging Reporting and Data System), surgical techniques and postoperative complications were studied. Results: thyroid carcinoma was more frequent (52.8%). 29.1% of the patients were grouped in the TIRADS II category. In the TIRADS III category, multinodular goiter was more common (n=6); in TIRADS IV, the carcinoma (n=4); all patients in categories V and VI presented carcinomas. The most used technique was hemithyroidectomy with itsmectomy (47.2%). Complications were recorded in 7 patients and the most common was transient recurrent paralysis. Conclusions: Thyroid carcinoma was more frequent. The usefulness of the TIRADS classification for the management of these patients is revealed. It was under the registry of complications.
