title: [Clinico-morphological comparisons in patients with toxic goiter].
abstract: The article presents a comparison and analysis of clinical and morphological data obtained in surgical treatment of 743 thyrotoxicosis patients operated in clinical bases of the Saint Petersburg Center of surgery of organs of the endocrine system at the period from 2005 through 2010. Causes of disagreement of the clinical diagnosis and morphological conclusion in patients with different diseases of the thyroid gland resulting in thyrotoxicosis are considered. Great clinical material (743 observations) was used by the authors to demonstrate the diagnostic value of special methods of investigation of the thyroid gland in patients with the toxic goiter. Advantages of subtotal resection of the thyroid gland by the P.Dunhill--E.S.Drachinsky method are stressed for surgical treatment of patients with nodular transformation of the thyroid tissue against the background of diffuse toxic goiter.
