PG - 45-8 LID - S0003469X16024623 [pii] AB - The aim of this study is to evaluate the thyroid function tests in order to examine whether 10 % of Povidone-Iodine(PI), the medication we applied in 1/5 ratio diluted with 0.9 %NaCl, joins the systemic circulation during clean contaminated, contaminated and dirty operations for solid organ hydatid cysts in abdominal area to avoid abscess formation and spreading. 7 men and 6 women were included to the present study, prospectively. The mean age was 33.69(+/- 13.49). TSH, free T3 (fT3) and free T4 (fT4) hormone levels were measured before the operation and at the third day of postoperative period. Amount of used povidone-iodine for patients was recorded. As a result of statistical analysis applied, the preoperative and post operative values were not significantly different regarding with the measured hormone levels (preTSH vs postTSH: p= 0.984; prefT3 vs postfT3: p= 0.101; prefT4 vs postfT4: p=0.146). Thus, it has been shown that the dose we used is effective, and it does not enters at all or at quite low levels into the systemic circulation. Patients whom this application performed, abscess and intestinal adhesions have not been observed in our clinical experience. We recommend the use of suggested doses of Povidone-Iodine in the presence of intraabdominal perforation and abscess or in cases such as carrying a risk of cyst spreading to intraabdominal area in hydatid cysts.
