The causes of postoperative goiter recurrence and the tactics of their treatment have not yet been sufficiently studied. The frequency of relapses of diffuse toxic goiter varies widely (O. V. Nikolaev and F. A. Agafonov, 1957 - 0.2%; E. S. Drachinskaya, 1954 - 2%; N. I. Truten, 1956 - 1, 5%), According to the combined statistics of 60 authors, concerning 43818 operations for goiter (F.A.Agafonov, 1948), the recurrence rate is 6.4.
