abstract: 201 cases of hyperthyrotoxic goitre underwent surgery in the period from 1970 to 1977. The importance of team work is emphasized to make reliable decisions concerning indications for surgical or non-surgical treatment. It is stated, that still a considerable controversy remains between Old and New World, concerning both indications for surgical treatment, and extent of surgery in thyreotoxicoses of the G.-B.-typ. The subtotal thyroidectomy represents e reliable method with rapid onset of euthyroidism, advisable in cases in which non-surgical treatment is, from the endocrinological point of view, not recommended, or considered as hazardous.
