[Therapeutic problems of autonomous adenoma of the thryroid (author's transl)].
Radioiodine therapy and surgical enucleation as a functionally legitimate operation are adequate methods of treatment for the autonomous adenoma of the thyroid. With reference to a series of our own patients, the making of the indication, the operation technique and the carrying out of radioiodine therapy are commented on. The aim of the operation is the enucleation of the autonomous adenoma without traumatizing the healthy thyroid tissue and without ligature of the polar vessels. The aim of radioiodine therapy is the selective destruction of the adenoma. The indication for the operation should certainly be made more liberally to perform the low-risk enucleation.
