Abstract |
Nodular goitre was detected in as many as 21 - 27% of the adult population in a non-endemic area. The most frequent therapeutic procedure is suppressive treatment with thyroxine. The author analyzes the results of prospective randomized, placebo controlled studies, which focused attention on the effectiveness of suppressive treatment. In the majority an inadequate effect was recorded. In the conclusion the author suggests an algorithm of suppressive treatment of nodular goitre and conditions after goitrectomy on account of nodular goitre.
