[The diagnosis and surgical treatment of nodular euthyroid and toxic goiter].
The authors discuss their experience in treating 815 patients who underwent an operation for nodular euthyroid and toxic goiter. Thermography was used in the examination of 367 patients and the results were compared with those of radioisotope scanning of the thyroid, intraoperative findings, and the results of histological study. It was established that in complex with clinical methods of examination, thermography is very important in making the differential diagnosis of thyroid diseases. The specific features of surgical tactics in patients with nodular goiter are shown. Economical resection of the gland together with the node is recommended in nodular euthyroid goiter and subtotal subfascial resection of the involved lobe or the thyroid gland in nodular toxic goiter.
