SummaryThyroid surgery is one of the more common surgical procedures in Germany. This is in contrast with the situation in some other countries, where this procedure is performed comparatively rarely. In this paper the number of thyroid surgeries in Germany is compared with other western countries (Netherlands, USA, England). In contrast to e. g. the USA and England the number of thyroid surgeries in Germany is declining, however with approximately 109/100 000/year in 2012 is still elevated (Netherlands: 16/100 000/year, USA: at least 42/100 000/year, England: at least 27/100 000/year).Possible contributing factors to this higher number of thyroid surgeries in Germany are explored. These factors include iodine deficiency, the frequent use of advanced diagnostics such as ultrasound, insufficient use of preoperative diagnostic measures such as fine needle biopsy and the practice of “defensive medicine”. How much each of these factors contributes is however unclear.

The authors present an outline of the development of thyroid surgery from the ancient times to the beginning of the 20th century, when the definitive surgical technique have been developed and the physiologic and pathopfysiologic consequences of thyroid resections have been described. The key representatives, as well as the contribution of the most influential czech surgeons are mentioned.

ABSTRACT Studies of iodine metabolism have been carried out in 15 pregnant women, 33 cases with sporadic goitre and 11 with thyrotoxicosis. A low plasma inorganic iodine was common to the three groups. In pregnancy and sporadic goitre the thyroid clearance of iodine was elevated and the absolute iodine uptake normal. A high thyroid clearance of iodine in thyrotoxicosis was associated with a high absolute iodine uptake. The results suggest that both pregnancy and sporadic goitre are physiological responses to an iodine deficiency state while the iodine deficiency state of thyrotoxicosis is secondary to increased thyroid activity.

ABSTRACT In 129 patients with non-toxic goitre and 27 normal controls, thyroid dynamic patterns were estimated in an attempt to elucidate pathogenesis. The clinically euthyroid state was confirmed by measurement of PBI, T3-sephadex uptake and BMR. Thyroid clearance (th. cl.), plasma iodide (PII), and absolute iodine uptake (AIU) were determined and a perchlorate discharge test performed. Twenty patients (16%) had a high AIU and were thus suspected of having dyshormonogenesis; nine were thoroughly investigated and in six dyshormonogenesis was found. Both normals and non-toxic goitre patients had a low PII, but in the goitrous patients values were lowest. The thyroid clearance of iodide was significantly higher in the goitre patients, suggesting iodine deficiency to be a major aetiologic factor for goitre formation. AIU was higher in the goitre patients than in normals, suggesting a larger iodine leakage from the thyroid in these patients.
