Thyroid Surgery
Thyroid surgery is a surgical procedure that is performed to remove part or all of the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck that produces hormones that regulate metabolism.
There are several different types of thyroid surgery, including:
Thyroidectomy: This procedure involves the removal of part or all of the thyroid gland. It may be performed to treat thyroid cancer, an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism), or an enlarged thyroid gland (goiter).
Lobectomy: This procedure involves the removal of one lobe of the thyroid gland. It may be performed to treat thyroid cancer or an enlarged thyroid gland.
Subtotal thyroidectomy: This procedure involves the removal of most of the thyroid gland, leaving a small amount of tissue behind. It may be performed to treat an overactive thyroid gland.
Thyroid surgery is typically performed laparoscopically, using small incisions and specialized instruments. The procedure is generally considered to be safe, but as with any surgery, there are risks involved, including the risk of complications.
