[Thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins and the incidence of postoperative hypothyroidism in patients with diffuse toxic goiter].
Thyroid function was studied in 38 patients with diffuse thyroid goiter after subtotal thyroidectomy (3.82 and 25.9 months after surgery. Postoperative hypothyroidism developed less frequently in diffuse goiter patients who showed before treatment thyro-stimulating antibodies in the blood. The authors recommend a differential approach to the volume of thyroidectomy depending on the presence and absence of thyroid-stimulating antibodies before the operation.
