[Modern possibilities of preventing postoperative goiter recurrence].
The authors present an analysis of the material of 84 patients operated on in the years 1979-1992 for non-malignant recurrent goitre. The method of management and treatment results are presented. The schema of management is also described in prevention of goitre recurrences, involving correctly performed operation, periodical control examination, and routine postoperative administration of thyroid preparations. The use of hormonal prophylaxis (L-Thyroxin) in suppressive doses, under TSH control seems to have a significant influence on the reduction of the number of recurrences.
