The new method for the rehabilitation of patients operated on thyroid gland because of the colloidal nodular goiter has been suggested. The method includes the prescription of non-steroid anti-inflammatory nimesulide drug and microwaves during the earlier postoperative period in combination with the hormonal status correction. This rehabilitation method results in sooner wound reparation, shorter period of physical disability, and better life quality of patients comparing to traditional postoperative management.

The aim of the study was develop the treatment –diagnosis algorithm in nodal diseases of the thyroid gland. Analysis of diagnosis and treatment procedures in 252 patients with nodal disease of the thyroid gland was performed. The differential diagnosis algorithm of patients’ examination which included preoperative ultrasound study (US), fine-needle aspiration biopsy, laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) and also perioperative US and LDF allowed to reliably determine character of the thyroid gland lesion, its morphological type in 91.7% of cases and choose the adequate volume of surgical treatment.
