The thyroid gland maintains the level of metabolism in the tissues that is optimal for their normal function. Thyroid hormones stimulate the 02 consumption of most of the cells in the body, help regulate lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, and are necessary for normal growth and maturation. The thyroid gland is not essential for life, but its absence causes mental and physical slowing, poor resistance to cold, and, in children, mental retardation and dwarfism. This is a randomized prospective clinical study of multinodular goitre patients admitted in attached to Medical Collage. A total number of 50 cases studied in a span of 24 months. Complete clinical examination, and necessary laboratory investigations were performed. Movement with deglutition was present in all patients l(100 percent), multiple nodules in both lobes in 30 cases (60 percent), nodules confined to left lobe in 7 cases (14 percent), right lobe was seen in 13 cases (26 percent) was seen.
Worldwide, nodular goitre remains a problem of enormous magnitude affecting less than 5% of the population. Neither a well formulated nor a simple procedure is available for the management of MNG. This was a prospective study of 50 cases of MNG with an adequate follow up to look for post op complications. FNAC was done all patients and was found to be 100% accurate. Majority of the patients were treated with STT, followed by HT and NTT. Complications included wound infection and RLN palsy. FNAC is an invaluable and highly accurate tool in the diagnosis of MNG. Surgery, STT was found to be an adequate and safe treatment for non-toxic MNG with minimal complications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
