Regularities of the anatomical variability of the shape of the thyroid gland

According to the literature, the study of the typical anatomy of the thyroid gland is an urgent problem of modern medicine. Performing surgical interventions on the thyroid gland, as a rule, is associated with significant technical difficulties due to the exceptional variability of the organs form. Objective of this research was studying the patterns of anatomical variability of the shape of the thyroid gland in individuals with various forms of the neck and body type. Work is performed with using autopsy material of 120 bodies (67 men and 52 women) long lived in the territory of the Rostov region and died of the diseases which are not connected with pathology of organs of a neck. In the course of work, the sizes of the right and left thyroid lobes and the size of the isthmus were determined. For identification of a shape of a thyroid gland used Y.V. Maleevs recommendations (2016). The shape of a neck was defined according to coefficient of proportionality of width of a neck of T...
