[Goiter surgery in endemic regions].
From 1976 07 01 to 1981 06 30 we performed 882 operations of goiter. It seems to be essential, that the nodular goiter dominates respectively not decreases significantly in spite of iodized salt prophylaxis. An exact preoperative diagnosis and preparation decides about the postoperative success. The postoperative complications are described and analysed. Relating to the recurrence goitre prevention we execute a careful instruction to the GPs and to the patients.
