The system of safe interventions on the thyroid gland was developed on the basis of experiences with surgical treatment of 2255 patients with diffuse toxic goiter, 437--with nodular toxic goiter, 1377--with nodular nontoxic goiter, 123--with autoimmune thyroiditis and 937--with recurrent goiter. The system includes measures in the preoperative period, those during operation and the postoperative rehabilitation of the patients. This system allowed shortening of the period of preoperative preparation, decrease of blood loss, and less number of postoperative complications.
