Currently, in a case if the remission of Graves' disease is not achieved during the long-term antithyroid medication, thyroidectomy should be considered as the treatment of choice. However, the predictive criteria of the surgical treatment outcome are not defined. In this regard, it is important to search criteria contributing to prediction of the results of surgical treatment. According to the findings of the study revealed morphological indicators showing a significantly greater functional activity of the thyroid tissue in patients with postoperative thyrotoxicosis. This requires further study, which may have a significant contribution to the prognosis of postoperative outcomes among patients with Graves' disease.
