    Notes: Summary Iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis (IIT), due to iodine application in high amounts in patients with circumscript or disseminated thyroid autonomy, is complicated by a prolonged course, mainly due on the body's resistance to conservative therapy with thiourea derivates. Therefore, we decided to perform subtotal thyroidectomy in 16 thyrotoxic patients. This is in contrast to the common opinion that surgery should only be performed after normalization of thyroid hormones. In all 16 patients with severe IIT, including three patients with thyroid storm, hormone levels decreased within a few days after surgery to normal or subnormal values and the clinical picture of thyrotoxicosis disappeared. In the case of thyroid storm the signs of disorientation normalized within 1–3 days. One patient died 5 weeks after surgery due to severe concomitant diseases. One patient exhibited transitory respiration distress and another had postoperative hypocalcaemia. In nine patients L-thyroxine replacement became necessary because of subclinical or clinical hypothyroidism. Only by this procedure will the high intrathyroidal storage of iodine and preformed hormone be extracted. Surgery as a treatment for thyrotoxicosis should be reserved for patients with severe IIT, where conservative treatment has been shown to be ineffective. Furthermore, in rare selected cases, when a rapid normalization is required, surgery without preoperative treatment seems to be justified. The effect of surgery was impressive in all our cases and there were only minor perioperative complications. Thus, it could be shown that subtotal thyroidectomy may be a rational and effective treatment in severe IIT which should be carefully considered and weighed against other types of therapy.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der Vergleich der Zeiträume 1949–1974 und 1975–1983 zeigt einen Wandel in der Therapie und Prognose primärer Magenstumpfcarcinome. Der Anteil der resezierbaren Stumpfcarcinome stieg von 23,4% im ersten Beobachtungszeitraum auf 66,7% im zweiten Zeitraum. Wurde von 1949–1974 in mehr als der Hälfte der resezierbaren Fälle eine subtotale Nachresektion durchgeführt, stieg die Zahl der totalen Restgastrektomien von 1975–1983 auf 85%. Nahezu die Hälfte aller Resektion wurden wegen Lymphknotenmetastasen oder einer Infiltration des Malignoms in die Leber als Palliativeingriffe vorgenommen. Im Gegensatz zum Magencarcinomrezidiv infiltriert das Magenstumpfcarcinom nach Ulcusresektion erst sehr spät das Jejunum, deshalb können auch große Malinome reseziert werden.
    Notes: Summary Comparision of the period 1949–1974 and 1975–1983 shows that treatment of primary gastric stump cancer after ulcer surgery has changed. The number of gastric stump resections increased from 23.4% in the first period to 66.7% in the second period. From 1949 to 1974, subtotal gastrectomy was performed in more than 50% of the resectable cases; in the second period, 85% of the resectable carcinomas were removed by total gastrectomy. Almost 50% of the resected stomachs had lymphnode metastases or infiltration of the liver by the tumor, so that the gastric resection was done as palliative operation. In contrast to recurrent gastric cancer, primary gastric stump cancer infiltrates the jejunum very late; therefore, large stump carcinomas are resectable.
