Thyroid Surgery
Thyroid Surgery (Thyroidectomy) involves the partial or complete removal of the thyroid gland. It is performed for thyroid cancer, large goiters causing compression symptoms, hyperthyroidism not responding to medical treatment, and suspicious thyroid nodules.
Our ENT surgeon performs thyroid surgery with meticulous technique to ensure complete disease removal while preserving vital structures.
What is Thyroid Surgery?
The thyroid gland is located in the front of the neck and produces hormones that regulate metabolism. Thyroidectomy may be total (complete removal), hemithyroidectomy (removal of one lobe), or subtotal, depending on the indication. The procedure requires careful preservation of the parathyroid glands and recurrent laryngeal nerves.
