Introduction: Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is an indolent tumor with low malignancy potential. However, occult synchronous cervical lymph node metastases (CLNM), which may lead to a high risk of local recurrence, are still present in 20–40% of patients. The low diagnostic efficiency (< 47%) of the neck ultrasound in central lymph node metastases detection leads to the development of alternative ways of occult CLNM prediction in patients with PTC. The objective is to...

ObjectivesImpact of inhalation anaesthesia (IA) during thyroidectomy in the thyrotoxicosis syndrome (TTS) patients on the fluctuation the oxygen delivery (DO2).Materials90 TTS patients undergoing thyroidectomy. Depending on the type of anaesthesia, patients were divided into the «balanced analgesia-sevoflurane» group (BA-S) – 44 patients (where bilateral superficial cervical plexus blockade (BS...

The objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the HBME-1 expression test on cytological samples with Bethesda categories III, IV, and V in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodular lesions.Materials and methods: The data of 14 patients with thyroid nodular lesions and cytological Bethesda categories III, IV, and V (" gray zone ") were analyzed. The HBME-1 expression was determined by the results of immunocytochemical (IC) and immun...

The objective was to evaluate the short-term results of the laser interstitial thermotherapy (LITT) application in the treatment of patients with nodular goiter and cytology TBSRTC IV category.Materials and methods: In 2021-2023, ultrasound-guided LITT was performed on 21 patients with nodular goiter and cytology TBSRTC IV. Laser type - GaAlAs Diode Laser (VELAS II-30F). The wavelength was 1064 nm, and the emission mode - continuous. Power at the 1st ses...
