Anesthesia and surgery for endocrine diseases often cause endocrine-metabolic crises and com. Therefore, endocrine surgery is especially close to the goals and methods of anesthesiology and intensive care. This also determines the relevance of this monograph, the key idea of which is that in the surgical treatment of diseases of the endocrine glands, intensive observation and treatment is not an episode, but a constant regimen, which is carried out before the operation, during and after it, and often for life.The originality and high level of the monograph is already evidenced by the 1st chapter. Pituitary surgery is the competence of neurosurgeons and neuroanesthesiologists. To the credit of the authors, when considering these questions, they almost never repeat the classical monograph of A. 3. Manevich and V. I. Salalykin and even supplement it from endocrinological positions.Of course, thyroid surgery remains at the center of endocrine surgery, but the authors exaggerate, considering the surgical method to be the main one in thyroidology. Contrary to themselves, they not only give many routine methods of conservative treatment of thyroid diseases, but also detail conditionally surgical methods such as acupuncture, plasmapheresis, UV and laser therapy.
