METHOD OF DIFFERENTIALLY DIAGNOSING NODULAR GOITER, CYSTS AND TUMORS OF THYROID

摘要

FIELD: endocrinology. SUBSTANCE: sterilized syringe needle is deepened into thyroid gland formation and tissue pressure is measured. When its value is 54-97 Torr, nodular goiter is diagnosed, and when 46-51 Torr, tumor of thyroid gland. Accuracy of method is 92.6% for the nodular goiter and tumor, and 100% for cysts. Examination takes 1-2 min. Accurate diagnosis permits determining type of operation required. In the case of nodular goiter and cysts, subfascial resection is performed, and in the case of tumors epifascial resection of gland. EFFECT: simplified diagnostics.
