Abstract

Complex analysis of the methods of early diagnostics and tactics of surgery treatment of 340 professional flyers with various forms of nodal thyroid diseases in the 5-yr period (1996-2002) showed effectiveness of a specialized diagnostic program including USI-controlled biopsy, in reliable estimate of structural changes of nodal thyroid formations already at early phases of disease in the majority of patients (83.2%). Organ-preserving and economical operations for removal of benign thyroid knottings led to recovery and professional rehabilitation of 90.3% of the patient-pilots.
