Thyroid cyst is nothing but as benign, and surrounded by a capsule containing a liquid. Content cysts harmless, since it is only the dead cells of the thyroid gland and the fluid - colloid. But in some cases it is possible degeneration of the cyst into a malignant tumor. Removal of the thyroid gland cyst carried out in several ways (the so-called minor surgery) and only when indicated. At the same time the thyroid gland itself remains intact. Only in very rare cases resort to surgery.

Necessary inspections before removing cysts

Despite the fact that the removal of cysts is a minimally invasive procedure, the patient must pass a series of tests:

• general blood analysis;
• blood for syphilis Syphilis - punishment of Venus   (RW), blood for hepatitis Hepatitis - the scourge of our time   and HIV infection;
• Analysis of thyroid hormones Thyroid hormones: mechanism of action and physiological effects   (TSH, T3, T4, antibodies to thyroglobulin);
• ultrasound of the thyroid gland;
• cyst puncture and histological examination punctate.

Methods for the removal of the thyroid gland cyst

The main methods of removal of the thyroid gland cyst include:

• puncture the cyst;
• hardening of the cyst;
• laser photocoagulation;
• surgery on the thyroid gland.

Puncture

Puncture of the cyst of the thyroid gland is performed both for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The contents of the cyst after removing it sent to compulsory cyto-histological study. To puncture the cyst using a special thin needle, through which the puncture and sucked in the formation of the maximum amount of liquid. Medical needling is performed only on the testimony of (large brush size to three centimeters in diameter, and the existence of the complaints of the patient). Perhaps a re-puncture. If repeated relapses, resort to other methods of removing cysts.

Sclerotization

Sclerotization cyst is the introduction into the cavity of the cyst sclerosant, most often alcohol. It causes blockage of small blood vessels, burns cyst walls and spadenie its walls, causing scarring process begins.

The methodology of the sclerotization:

Under ultrasound, the doctor inserts into the cavity of the cyst thin needle and sucks its contents. Its amount must be not less than 90% of the total volume. Thereafter, through the same needle is introduced into the cyst cavity 96% or 99% ethyl alcohol in a volume of 20-50% of the remote content. However, the amount of alcohol should not exceed ten milliliters. After two minutes, the alcohol is removed from the cavity cysts. During this period of time there is a burn cyst wall. Sclerotization considered maloboleznennoy procedure.

By sclerotization side effects include:

• pain during injection of alcohol;
• burning sensation in the ear or neck;
• getting alcohol out of the cyst, causing damaging effects to other nearby organs.

Laser coagulation

Laser coagulation method or local hyperthermia Hyperthermia - when the body is overheated   It refers to the modern and new methods for the removal of the thyroid gland cyst. The method is laser treatment to the affected area of ​​the thyroid gland. Just as sclerotization laser exposure is performed under ultrasound guidance.

The mechanism of action of the laser is to create hyperthermia in cysts, and its cells are destroyed due to degradation of the protein. Duration of treatment is five to ten minutes. The advantages of laser treatment include:

• painless;
• outpatient conducting the procedure;
• non-invasive manipulation;
• virtually complete absence of side effects;
• no scar.

Thyroid surgery

As an alternative to all of the above methods to remove a cyst is surgery on the thyroid gland. The indications for surgery are very large cyst or a malignancy. Most often performed gemistrumektomiya (removal of the prostate share). In some cases, the volume of transactions expanded to thyroidectomy (complete removal of the thyroid gland). After such operation patients received replacement therapy with thyroid hormones.
