Intraoperative ultrasonic examination was carried out in order to improve the efficacy of intraoperative diagnosis (revision), specify the type of thyroid involvement, and choose an adequate volume of surgical intervention. The method was used in 44 patients with nodular euthyroid formations of the thyroid. The technique is described in detail. As a result of intraoperative ultrasonic examinations, the planned volume of surgical intervention was changed in one-third of cases. Intraoperative examinations in surgical treatment of nodular euthyroid formations of the thyroid help specify the type of thyroid involvement, select the optimal volume of intervention, and thus decrease the incidence of relapses.
