To the question about the vasomotor nerves of the thyroid gland

In 1896 Jaboulay proposed a new method of surgery for Graves' disease. Based on the position of Abadie that Basedow's disease presents many phenomena indicating irritation of the sympathetic nerve, the author proposed to cut it in the cervical part. Jonnesco went even further in this direction and recommended exfoliation of the cervical nodes and even bilateral resection of the sympathetic trunks. Since that time, surgery on the sympathetic nerve with Basedow's disease began to be used quite often.
