Kocher considers the operation, stumectomy, to be a radical remedy for the treatment of Basedow's disease, since, in his opinion, an increased activity of the thyroid gland lies at the heart of the disease. The author's experience with thyroid transplantation into the spleen, which caused the symptoms of Graves' disease, confirms this opinion.
