Analysis of 395 thyroidectomies, in a tropical region of endemic goiter and in a Hospital Department without any mean of investigation of thyroid gland, led to the establishment of the following facts: Prevalence of female sex is clear (72.1 p.c.). Thyrotoxicosis appears to be infrequent (1.5 p.c.). Cancer of thyroid strikes 7.8 p.c. of the operated patients. Operative morbidity is 3 p.c. Lesions of the recurrent laryngeal nerve have been observed in 3.8 p.c. of the patients. Then these results are examined in light of the date of known publications.
对395例甲状腺切除术进行分析，这些手术在一个地方性甲状腺肿流行的热带地区以及一个没有任何甲状腺检查手段的医院科室进行，得出了以下事实：女性患病率明显（72.1%）。甲状腺毒症似乎不常见（1.5%）。甲状腺癌在接受手术的患者中占7.8%。手术发病率为3%。在3.8%的患者中观察到喉返神经损伤。然后根据已知出版物的日期对这些结果进行了研究。
