[Radiothermometry in diagnosis of thyroid diseases].

Primary experience (177 patients) of diagnosis of thyroid gland diseases with radiothermography using microwave radiothermometer RTM-01-RES is analyzed. In unaffected thyroid gland there were no temperature differences between symmetric points of right and left lobe. Cancer of thyroid gland and toxic adenoma are characterized by higher internal temperature.

[Prophylaxis and treatment of disorders of the vocal cords mobility after surgeries on the thyroid gland].

Own and foreign experience in surgical treatment of thyroid gland (TG) diseases was analyzed. Surgical anatomy of TG, effective methods of surgical techniques, classification of disorders of vocal cords mobility, and treatment policy are described. It is demonstrated that no less than 70-80% patients with respiratory disorders after surgeries on TG can avoid tracheostomy and subsequent complex and sometimes staged plastic surgeries on the larynx.

[Adenomas of the thyroid gland].

Different methods of diagnosis and treatment of thyroid gland's adenomas are analyzed. Current surgical treatment of euthyroid goiter is reviewed. Basing on long-term studies, the role and place of special diagnostic methods (ultrasonic scanning and fine needle biopsy) and indications for their use and surgical treatment were determined.

[Repeated surgeries on the thyroid gland in nodular euthyroid goiter].

Medical histories of 214 patients hospitalized with diagnosis "recurrent nodular goiter" were studied retrospectively. Complex clinical, laboratory and instrumental examination was carried out in all the patients. Comparative analysis demonstrated that in the structure of recurrent goiter nodular colloid form dominated (84.
