Shydlovscky «Ternopil I. Ya. Horbachevskyi State Medical University of the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine» AbstractThe technology of cystic nodular goiter treating with the volume of liquid component from 20 to 80 % using a combination of sclerotherapy by ethanol (SE) and laser interstitial thermotherapy (LITT). At the beginning, we performed the complete obliteration of the cyst cavity connective tissue by the SE, and LITT for effecting on tissue component node. We used 70 % ethanol solution and diode laser with a wavelength of 1060 nm, power 2,8-3,2 watts. The dynamics of follow - SE cysts cavity, and after LITT - the tissue component node gradually, respectively, 6 and 9 months transformed into connective tissue. The slowdown in the process of reduction of cysts or tissue site during these periods and of nodular parenchyma cells considered indications for redo SE or LITT. In all 109 patients the treatment proved to be effective - cystic node transformed to connective tissue. Contraindications to the use of a combination CE and LITT had hypothyroidism, autoimmune thyroiditis, multinodular goiter volume of tissue component unit more than 60 % by volume of particles gland or multycyst transformation of nodules. Pathological influence of SE or LITT for the structure of paranodular parenchyma and parenchyma of the gland and its function is not found. After 3 years after treatment in 87 patients studied changes in the structure, function and thyroid volume and hem in place node were observed. Key words: cystic nodular goiter, treatment, sclerotherapy with ethanol, laser thermotherapy.
