Clinical efficacy of thyroid-parathyroid complex allotransplantation

Alloplastic transplants of the thyroid-parathyroid complex were performed under the cover of immunosuppressants (6-mercaptopurine and hydrocortisone) and without them in 15 patients suffering from thyroid-parathyroid insufficiency. Transplants were performed on the vascular pedicle according to Bogoraz. The results were tracked over periods from several months to 14 years. A more favorable clinical effect was noted in the postoperative period in those patients who received immunosuppressants.
