title: [Diving goiter. Apropos of 139 cases].
abstract: Between 1976 and 1994, 139 cases of diving goiter were operated. Hyperthyroidism is a factor in compression. Morbidity is low for surgery for diving goiters, but increases if performed in emergency situations. Cervicotomy was used alone in more than 99% of the cases.
