Thyroid Surgery

Thorough Diagnostic Assessment:

• Thyroid ultrasound: Utilizing ultrasound imaging to evaluate the size, shape, and characteristics of thyroid nodules.
• Fine-needle aspiration biopsy: Performing a minimally invasive procedure to obtain tissue samples from thyroid nodules for accurate diagnosis.

Surgical Treatment Options:

• Thyroidectomy: Surgical removal of part or all of the thyroid gland to treat conditions such as thyroid cancer, hyperthyroidism, or large thyroid nodules.
• Hemithyroidectomy: Partial removal of one lobe of the thyroid gland, typically for benign thyroid nodules or thyroid cancer confined to one lobe.

Comprehensive Postoperative Care:

• Hormone replacement therapy: Prescribing thyroid hormone medication to replace thyroid function following thyroid surgery.
• Monitoring for complications: Close postoperative monitoring to detect and manage potential complications such as hypocalcemia or vocal cord paralysis.
