Abstract

Nodular toxic and non-toxic goitres are seen in approximately 15% of Danish women, and the pros and cons of thyroidectomy versus radioiodine (RI) therapy are often discussed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the type and number of patients treated on the indication of hyperthyroidism or benign goitre who did not achieve a sufficient effect of RI therapy and therefore needed thyroidectomy.
