[Lazer-inducted interstitial thermotherapy in the treatment of solid nodulus of thyroid]

The results of treatment 272 patients with a nodular colloid goiter with the use of lazerinducted termotherapy (LITT) are analysed. I is established that in the developed modes of LITT application does not cause destructive changes in paranodular tissue and disorders of thyroid gland hormonal function. Duration of reverse development and substituting of nodular for a connecting tissue is determined by echogene and volume. With it increase the intensity of nodulus substituting for a connecting tissue goes down, extended the terms of nodulus regress. The indication to the repeated application of termotherapy is remaining tissue in the projections of nodulus scope from 42% and more an initial volume through 6 ms treatment. Absolute indications to repeated LITT is a presence of thyroid epithelium in remaining tissue of nodulus.
