The thyroid gland is one of the important endocrine glands in the human body; it plays a prominent role in the secretion of growth and reproductive hormones. However, being affected by infectious diseases, this gland will not perform its function properly which necessitates performing a surgery. In the following article, Healing Consulting provides you with all necessary information about thyroid gland operations and other related treatments.
Thyroid gland operations
Thyroid gland surgeries is a set of various procedures treating thyroid gland diseases, such as gland enlargement, overactive thyroid, chronic inflammation, or benign and malignant tumors.

Thyroid Goiter Treatment

Surgical Thyroid gland operations
Before performing the operation, the patient undergoes a set of medical examinations, such as a blood test, X-ray imaging, or ultrasound, after which the surgery is performed in the neck through a surgical incision under general anesthesia. Moreover, in regard to other types of thyroid gland operation, as in Thyroidectomy and hemithyroidectomy procedures, tumors or cysts are removed. This procedure also involves removing all or part of the thyroid gland, along with removing part of the surrounding lymph nodes according to the decision of the doctor based on the type and size of the tumor.
It should be noted that using endoscopic surgery, in addition to modern techniques in various thyroid operations of most types is possible. Moreover, similar to any surgical procedure, the patient needs to stay in the hospital until complete recovery and take some medications to help regulate the function of the thyroid gland after its removal.
