In the period from 1989 to 1994 a surgical treatment of @entity137 was performed in 145 @entity1 . An unifocal autonomous @entity652 occurred in 69 cases, a multifocal disease 76 times. The operative strategy consisted in a bilateral resection 105 times, and unilateral resection 29 times. An excision of a single node was carried out in ten cases. In one operation a hemithyroidectomy on one side and a subtotal resection of the other lobe was done. In May 1996 an interrogation about the current thyroid function was performed. In 105 (72.4%) @entity1 a re-evaluation was possible. Concerning the postoperative therapy for prevention of recurrent @entity1378 or @entity5651 , 84 @entity1 (80%) had been treated with thyroxin and/or @entity1496 . Under this therapy, after a mean period of 36 months 94 @entity1 (89.5%) were clinically euthyroid. Nine @entity1 (8.6%) were @entity1375 . Two @entity1 developed a recurrent @entity1378 . Both of them belonged to the group of @entity1 with multifocal autonomies, and both had been treated with thyroxin postoperatively. In one case, recurrent @entity5651 occurred that did not need a therapeutic intervention. This @entity1 as well had been treated for a @entity1376 originally. She had not been taking a specific medication postoperatively. We conclude that a functional resection of autonomic tissue in @entity8170 is efficient in controlling the thyroid metabolism. A medical prophylaxis was not able to prevent recurrent @entity1378 in two cases.
