Multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of patient with giant diffuse toxic goiter with neck compression syndrome

Abstract

Surgical tactics for giant thyroid nodules are widely covered in the literature. However, the treatment of such patients requires multidisciplinary approach. The team approach minimizes the risks of surgical treatment and ensures optimal recovery in the postoperative period. We present the clinical case of a 49-year-old female patient with a giant nodular toxic goiter. The article describes an integrated approach to the treatment of such patients, technical features and possible dangers when planning treatment in a multi-speciality hospital.
