Total throidectomy in the management of Graves' disease. A review of 282 cases
Abstract
Antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine, and surgery, either alone or in various combination, are used in the management of Graves' disease. If surgery is selected as the treatment of choice for Graves' disease than nothing less than total thyroidectomy should be performed.
