Abstract:
The use of beta blocking drugs as a preparation to the sub-total thyroidectomy in Graves's disease allows to shorten the pre-operation time. However, besides the observance of classical contraindications, it requires that patient who remain hyperthyroid are closely looked after. Within these limits, it seems to be quite useful for patients who need to quickly come back to euthyroid status.
