In order for the surgeon to carry out the adequate and timely prevention or treatment of complications related to thyroid surgery, it is necessary that he or she has an elementary level of theoretical and practical knowledge. An important aspect for this purpose is the classification of these complications, interacting with science and technology, in addition to taking into account that it favors the social environment where it operates. A documentary observational study was carried out in the Pubmed database with the aim of modeling a typology for these complications. 256 publications on the subject were reviewed, and it was concluded that most authors do not classify them, they only list the most frequent, and 29.1% classify them as early and late. As far as it was reviewed, no evidence was found that assesses its nature and lethality. The modeling of the typology proposed in this research contributed to determine the educational, economic and social importance that the subject has for the surgeon, in line with the essential contribution to society with the early reincorporation of the uncomplicated patient, for which it constitutes a social technology of an organizational nature for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of said complications. The realities and gaps in the existing traditional classifications raised a problem that was given a possible solution with this research as a contribution to the relationship between science, technology and society.
