[Therapeutic problems in euthyroid multinodular goiter].
Now therapeutic different possibilities of goitre pathology seem well defined, in front of limit of suppressive therapeutic range in initial stages, prevalently diffuse, that interest young people and arise in jodic want lands; it's possible that medic theraphy ends can't be obtained because of not responders patient, or even for possibilities of controindications. Local presence of suspicious nodules and the need of goitre volumetric reduction for aesthetical and compressory ends, with the possibility in course of time of functional changes are sure reasons to surgery. Certainly main problems exist about surgery definition of multinodular disease with bilobar involvement where there is comparing between total and subtotal thyroid exeresis. Now by literature analysis and our School experience we think that surgery choice, considered before operation, must find absolute assurance after preoperative morphotopographic careful exploration of thyroid. We think that total thyroidectomy must be done when it's certain a total gland involvement, reserving subtotal thyroidectomy in the other cases; always employing a careful surgery technique, keeping operative field interely bloodless to identify important structures and dissection plan narrowly close by capsule.
