[Repeat operations in nodular formations and cancer of the thyroid in a region of endemic goiter].

The paper discusses a 5-year experience of the Dispensary Department of Head and Neck Cancer with repeated operations for recurrent nodular goiter (60 cases), thyroid cancer developing in recurrent goiter (18 cases) an thyroid malignancies (28 patients). Intrafascial partial resection and reduced extent of surgery proved to be insufficiently radical in 46.4% of cancer patients and one-third of those with benign lesions.

[Tactics in the surgical treatment of nodular formations in the thyroid gland in an endemic goiter region].

The extrafascial method of operation was used because of high risk of malignization of nodular endemic goiters. The extrafascial hemithyroidectomy with an isthmus is considered by the authors to be the major and minimum operation volume in patients with nodular goiters. The method was used in 76,8% of the patients. In patients with thyroid carcinoma the operation of this volume was fulfilled in 66,5% of cases.

Evaluation Studies as Topic↗

[Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of accessory nasal sinuses, upper jaw and nasal cavity tumors].

Radiation studies, including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), revealed that these techniques can accurately determine the site of a tumor, the borders of its spread to the adjacent anatomic structures. They also revealed the features of CT in detecting osseous structural destruction and the advantage of MRI in visualizing the soft tissue component of a neoplasm and in distinguishing the degree of contrast of tumor tissue and concurrent secondary inflammation. The accuracy of CT and MRI for small tumors is 45-80 and 29% higher than that of X-ray study and traditional tomography, respectively. The potentialities of all radiation diagnostic techniques for over 3.0-cm tumors are equal.
