Dear Editor
After analysis of the research findings by Schiavone et al.1, we acknowledge the efficacy of Lugol’s solution in reducing FT3 and FT4 levels. However, the study also indicates that the preoperative use of Lugol’s solution did not significantly reduce intraoperative bleeding, the duration of surgery, or postoperative complications in patients with Graves’ disease undergoing total thyroidectomy. The study concludes that preoperative Lugol’s solution should not be considered mandatory for these patients. Nevertheless, we believe that there are several issues within the study that could impact on the accuracy of the results.

Dear Editor
We thank Wei-Zhen Tang et al. for their interest in our paper on the role of preoperative Lugol’s Solution (LS) in Graves’ disease1. They claim the absence in the paper of details about pre-, intra- and postoperative treatments may potentially impact on the interpretation of the results. Considering only a selection of data may be presented and that further details are available on request, we would underline that most of the clinical data are presented in the paper.
