[Persistent postoperative hyperthyroidism--a surgical problem].
The rate of persistent or recurrent hyperthyroidism after surgical treatment of Graves' disease correlates with the size of a thyroid remnant. Reoperation should be viewed as a last resort because of a high complication rate. A subtotal thyroidectomy with a thyroid remnant of 5 to 8 g is recommended.
