Sažetak
The thyroid gland is part of the endocrine system, which is located on the anterior side of the neck. It is a small organ that affects the work of all organs in the body. It is prone to pathological processes such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, goiter, nodules, and tumors. Thyroid nodules are increasingly being found among women of young age. Adenomas are characterized by a complete connective cocoon, a clear difference in the material inside and outside the cocoon. They are usually in the form of nodes that are accidentally detected, and most often at a systematic check-up. Follicular adenoma is a benign neoplasm that grows slowly and does not cause any symptoms, and a knot less than 1 cm cannot even be palpated. Adenomas are found in about 3-7% of adults. Diagnosis begins with history, clinical examination, ultrasound, ultrasound-controlled puncture, scintigraphy, sonography, and biopsy. Of the operational techniques, istmectomy, a lobectomy with partial or subtotal resection of the second lobe, thyroidectomy, and more recently endoscopic thyroidectomy are most commonly used. Today, complications after surgery are reduced to a minimum due to advanced technology, but also operator skills. Physiotherapy is an important part of treatment, as it enables the maintenance, development, and renewal of functional abilities that enable the patient to recover better and return to everyday life. The intervention begins already in intensive care unit with the aim of preventing pneumonia and thromboembolic complications, and later exercises are performed that are dosed individually according to the patient's abilities and according to the results of the assessment
