Abstract:
33 cases of hyperthyroidism have been treated at "L'Hôpital Sainte-Justine" of Montréal, during the period 1961-1974. Nearly all patients were submitted to medical treatment. 15 were cured with medical treatment only, and 18 had to be submitted to a subtotal thyroidectomy. These two groups are compared and show the clear advantage of surgery in the treatment of this disease. There was no major post-operative complication. Two patients became definitively hypothyroid. The mean follow-up is five years and six months.
