What is Thyroid Surgery?
Thyroid surgery, also known as thyroidectomy, involves removing part or all of the thyroid gland. It is recommended for conditions such as thyroid nodules, cancer, or hyperthyroidism that do not respond to medications or other treatments. The procedure helps alleviate symptoms like difficulty swallowing, breathing issues, or hormonal imbalances. Depending on the case, surgeons may perform a total or partial thyroidectomy using traditional, endoscopic, or robotic-assisted techniques to ensure precise removal, faster recovery, and improved long-term health outcomes.
