[Sclerotherapy in patients with nodular colloid goiter]
Abstract:
Results of percutaneous sclerotherapy with ethanol (PSTE) in 89 patients with nodular colloid goiter were analyzed. Indications and method of PSTE in different types of nodular formations were determined. All the patients were divided into 3 groups: 1st group -- 8 (9%) patients with free-functioning nodes, 2nd -- 16 (18%) patients with symptoms of cervical organs compression, 3rd -- 65 (73%) patients with cosmetic defect on neck. It is concluded that PSTE may be regarded as alternative for surgical treatment in the patients with high surgical risk. It is not pathogenic method of treatment and it should be accompanied with medicament therapy of iodine-deficient goiter. Liquidation of clinical symptoms is the criterion of treatment efficiency.
