Abstract

The study included the results of treatment of 368 patients with benign thyroid nodules who were admitted to the surgi-cal department of the multidisciplinary clinic of Samarkand State Medical University in the period from 2010 to 2023. Depending on the volume of the thyroid gland to be removed, the following types of operations were performed: Thy-roidectomy, Subtotal resection of the thyroid gland, Hemithyroidectomy with partial resection of the other lobe of the thyroid gland, Hemithyroidectomy, Partial resection of the thyroid gland. The developed algorithm for choosing tactics for surgical treatment of thyroid nodules, taking into account the volume of removal of the thyroid gland according to the conclusion of fine-needle aspiration biopsy or express bopsy, made it possible to improve the quality of care provid-ed by reducing the frequency of immediate postoperative complications from 14.8% (40 patients in the group compari-son) to 2.9% (4 patients in the main group) (χ2 criterion = 4.954; Df=1; p=0.027) and unsatisfactory results in the long-term postoperative period from 32.1% (52 patients in the comparison group) to 11, 3% (in 12 patients in the main group) (χ2 criterion = 4.692; Df = 1; p = 0.031).
