    Author: Ganchev G, Sechanov T, Velkov M.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Sofiia); 1994; 47(2):14-6. PubMed ID: 7884997.
    Abstract:
    Proceeding from the analysis of 848 patients with hyperthyroid goiter, including all three nosological entities--Graves' disease (538), toxic adenoma of the thyroid (126), and struma basedowificata nodosa (184)--operated in the clinic of endocrine surgery over a five-year period, some modern trends in the therapeutic approach are discussed, preoperative preparation of the patients and resection scope, in particular. It is recommended to discard preparation with the classical Lugol's solution in mild and medium severe forms of Graves' disease, routinely used in the clinic over the past few years, and operate after administration of 1-2 tablets Metizole which shortens preoperative hospitalization, and secures postoperative period free of hyperthyroid complications.
