Aim:
To analyze long-term outcomes of Graves' disease management.
Material And Methods:
There were 428 patients for the periods 2000-2004 and 2005-2010. Patients were called for examination and thyroid status control. 2 groups were compared: group 1 of 203 patients and group 2 of 225 patients.
Results:
It was found that after subtotal resection by original technique (patent 1802309 of the Russian Federation, MPK 5 G01N1, 1/28) in group 1 euthyroid state was observed in more than half (59.4%) of patients, hypothyroidism - 30.3% and recurrence - in 10.3% 10 years postoperatively. At the same time most of patients of group 2 (71.6%) after predominant thyroidectomy had hypothyroidism, euthyroid state was only in 24%. Postoperative recurrent diffuse toxic goiter incidence was 4.7%.
Conclusion:
The dynamics of postoperative thyroid status depending on type of surgery and follow-up was presented.
