title: [The dynamic observation of patients with diffuse toxic goiter in the postoperative period by means of echography].
abstract: The authors used vernier calipers for measurement of the thyroid remnant during operation with special reference to data of an emergency histological analysis which determined the state of toxicosis, lymphoid infiltration, the presence of the extrafollicular epithelium. In addition, the patient's age, duration of the disease and taking thyreostatics was considered. It determined an individual approach to solution of the question of size of the gland to be left. The fate of the remnant thyroid was followed-up with the help of echography. In the majority of patients with diffuse toxic goiter a 90% increase of the remnant as compared with the initial data was noted in a month after operation, six months later it was 126%, a year later 186%. Close functional correlation was found between the data of histological investigations, age of the patients, duration of the disease and taking thyreostatics.
