The retrospective experience of diagnosis and treatment of 18 people with true parathyroid cysts was studied. Clinical features, ultrasound results, laboratory parameters, surgical aids and subsequent dynamics were studied. All patients were women aged 35 to 77 years. Parathyroid cysts had no clinical manifestations, hyperparathyroidism and compression syndrome were absent. All parathyroid cysts were discovered accidentally during an ultrasound examination of the neck. Often t...

The purpose was to study the possibility of various diagnostic methods in patients with large goiter. In 2016–2018 years 628 people with thyroid diseases was operated. In 69 cases the volume of the thyroid was 100–1200 cm3. The correlation between thyroid volume and age is weak (0.074033), the duration of the disease is high (0.732455). Evaluation of clinical signs was not difficult, but the examination data and symptoms did not give a adequate picture o...

The results of Surgeon-Performed Ultrasound before and after operations have evaluated at the 207 patients with pathology of the thyroid gland. Comparative assessment made between ultrasound at out-patient phase and Surgeon-Performed by ultrasound. Ultrasound at the outpatient stage in the screening mode does not provide a sufficient level of diagnostics. Causes of errors at this stage are a short time of the inspection, insufficient expertise, wrong interpretation of the imag...

Today dynamic observation are given preference in most cases multinodular goiter. Small nodes without disruption of thyroid function do not affect the quality of life of patients. Wait-and-see tactic with multinodular goiter has previously been submitted due to the lack of adequate replacement therapy. Wait-and-see tactic previously criticized because of its passivity and predictable negative effect on growth nodes. The result of passive observation is the occurrence of goiter...
