Thyroidectomy
Thyroidectomy at MEDVOYAGER
At MEDVOYAGER, we offer thyroidectomy, a surgical procedure to remove all or part of the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland, located at the base of the neck, plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism through the production of thyroid hormones. Thyroidectomy is performed to treat various thyroid conditions, ensuring better health and quality of life for our patients. Our experienced ENT and endocrine specialists use advanced techniques to provide safe and effective treatment.
Understanding Thyroidectomy
Thyroidectomy involves the surgical removal of the thyroid gland, either partially (lobectomy) or completely (total thyroidectomy). This procedure is essential for treating conditions such as thyroid cancer, large goiters, hyperthyroidism, and suspicious thyroid nodules. The choice between partial and total thyroidectomy depends on the specific condition and its severity.
Indications for Thyroidectomy
- Thyroid Cancer: Removal of the thyroid gland to treat malignant tumors and prevent the spread of cancer.
- Large Goiters: Treatment for enlarged thyroid glands causing breathing or swallowing difficulties.
- Hyperthyroidism: Severe cases of overactive thyroid not responding to other treatments.
- Suspicious Thyroid Nodules: Nodules with uncertain or potentially cancerous characteristics.
- Recurrent Thyroid Cysts: Persistent cysts that cause symptoms or concerns.
