33 cases of hyperthyroidism have been treated at "L'Hôpital Sainte-Justine" of Montréal, during the period 1961-1974. Nearly all patients were submitted to medical treatment. 15 were cured with medical treatment only, and 18 had to be submitted to a subtotal thyroidectomy. These two groups are compared and show the clear advantage of surgery in the treatment of this disease. There was no major post-operative complication. Two patients became definitively hypothyroid. The mean follow-up is five years and six months.
1961年至1974年期间，蒙特利尔的圣贾斯汀医院治疗了33例甲状腺功能亢进症患者。几乎所有患者都接受了药物治疗。其中15例仅通过药物治疗治愈，18例不得不接受甲状腺次全切除术。对这两组患者进行了比较，结果显示手术治疗该疾病具有明显优势。术后无重大并发症。两名患者最终出现甲状腺功能减退。平均随访时间为五年零六个月。
