The method of extracorporal hemosorption was used by the authors first in the clinical practice for the preoperative preparation of patients with thyrotoxicosis. Oxygenated SKN carbons were used as sorbents. The hemosorption was used in 16 patients with thyrotoxic goiter by the method developed in the clinic. The authors make a conclusion that hemosorption is an expedient method for the preoperative preparation of patients with a toxic goiter.
