[Administration of anxiolit retard before strumectomy (author's transl)]

With the aid of v. Zerssen's emotional scores the emotional condition of patients with toxic or cold thyroid adenomas was tested before operation with and without administration of oxazepam (Anxiolit retard). There was a significant improvement of the general condition not only in patients with toxic adenoma but also in patients with cold adenoma. Thus the preoperative application of Oxazepam is indicated before strumectomy to avoid stress symptoms and anxiety fits.
