[Hyperthyroidism in surgery at the Teaching Hospital Yalgado Ouedraogo Burkina Faso. About 95 cases]. / Les hyperthyroïdies en milieu chirurgical au Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Yalgado Ouédraogo, Burkina Faso. A propos de 95 cas.

ABSTRACT

The authors pay in a retrospective study, 95 cases of hyperthyroidism, listed in the teaching hospital Yalgado Ouedraogo of Ouagadougou from January 2000 to June 2005. These hyperthyroidism represent 39% of the thyroid affections, with a female prevalence (97%), 32 years of average age, the urban source of the patients (90% of the cases) and the importance of self medication (73%). They stress the importance of sonography, allowing a classification in diffuse goiter (44%) and multi nodular (56%). They insist on a good preparation of the patient before the intervention and on the interest of the sub total thyroïdectomy. They estimate that a correct binding of the vessels, the dissection of recurring, the visualization and the dissection of parathyroid and their vascular pedicle should make it possible to reduce the post-operative complications null morbidity and death rate 12.5%.
