[Postoperative hypothyroidism in patients with multi-nodular goiter]
Abstract:
Results of surgical treatment of 69 patients with polynodous euthyroid goiter were studied. There was established, that postoperative hypothyrosis is occurring more often in women aged from 41 to 70 years with colloid goiter in combination with adenoma of thyroid gland (in 60% observations) and adenomatous goiter (in 42.8%). Increase of residual tissues volume of thyroid gland do not always provide the decrease of the hypothyrosis frequency occurrence. The physician control absence for the hormonal therapy management worsens the postoperative hypothyrosis course.
