IMMEDIATE AND REMOTE THE RESULT OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF MALIGNANT TUMORS OF THE THYROID GLAND

Abstract

Currently, there are no absolutely reliable methods for preoperative differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid tumors [1]. However, the extent of surgical intervention and the degree of its trauma depend on the correct diagnosis. If cancer is suspected, the minimum extent of intervention includes extrafascial thyroidectomy [2]. This operation can be complicated by paralysis of the recurrent laryngeal nerve and persistent hypoparathyroidism, which requires additional long-term treatment [3, 4]. All patients after thyroidectomy require hormone replacement therapy under the control of laboratory parameters and often - correction of hypocalcemia. Thus, treatment in the postoperative period is labor-intensive and requires high economic costs. At the same time, the recommended extent of intervention in the diagnosis of solid thyroid adenomas is limited to hemithyroidectomy.
