WAYS TO IMPROVE THE RESULTS OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF DIFFUSE TOXIC GOITER.

The complex use of a method for the prevention of postoperative laryngeal paresis after thyroidectomy, and the use of a tool for the removal of the recurrent laryngeal nerve during surgery, and preoperative X-ray endovascular embolization of the thyroid arteries in patients with DTG (diffuse toxic goiter) can reduce the risk of intraoperative complications and improve immediate and long-term results of surgical treatment. The use of a new method for the prevention of postoperative laryngeal paresis after thyroidectomy and "a tool for the removal of the recurrent laryngeal nerve" as well as endovascular embolization of the thyroid arteries in the surgical treatment of patients with DTG can reduce the duration of surgery by 26%, the volume of intraoperative blood loss - by 52.5%, and also avoid complications such as recurrent nerve injury and bleeding in early postoperative period.
