title: [Surgery of the thyroid gland in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania].
abstract: The authors on the results of 116 surgical interventions against thyropathy. The indications were: hyperthyroidy (18.10 p.c.), diffuse goiter (10.34 p.c.) thyreonodules (71.55 p.c.). Contrary to what was written in this series, Basedow's disease was the main etiology in hyperthyroidies. Thyreonoduls are predominant in thyropathology with 12.05 p.c. of cancers. These cancers develop themselves on 72.72 p.c. of already existing goiter; that is uncommon; they are essentially papillary carcinoma forms. The seriousness of compressive forms is underline and is responsible for two deaths in this series.
