Abstract
The outcome of surgery for Grave's disease was studied in 160 patients undergoing subtotal thyroidectomy between 1983 to 1989. The weight of preserved thyroid tissue was about 6 grams. There was a low operative morbidity and a zero motality. Hyperthyroidism had recurred in 28 patients (20%) and 23 (16%) were hypothyroid. The risk of developing recurrent toxicity was greater in female in her twenties. After surgery for Grave's disease lifelong follow-up is necessary.
