| Popis: | Goiter is a disease with history perhaps as long as human has been around. Almost all the available references are in Western language works of literature while information concerning the occurrence of goiter disease in ancient China and the comparison between the treatment in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with current Western medicine remains lacking. In this article, the description of goiter, the history of surgical intervention for goiter disease, and the general concept of goiter disease treatment in ancient China literature such as seaweed decoction and acupuncture analgesia for surgery were reviewed. |
