All the 4 cases recovered after treatment. 78 cases(85.7%) were followed up for 0.5~9 years. Of them, all were in good condition except 2 being recurred. Conclusions Operative treatment for adolescent hyperthyroidism is a safe, quick and effictive method, but the operation indications should be good controlled.
