Understanding the Procedure
What is Thyroid Surgery?
Thyroid surgery (thyroidectomy) involves removing part or all of the thyroid gland — a butterfly-shaped gland at the front of the neck that regulates metabolism and hormone production. Surgery is recommended for thyroid cancer, large or compressive goitres, hyperthyroidism refractory to medications, and suspicious nodules.
Modern thyroid surgery uses intraoperative nerve monitoring to protect the recurrent laryngeal nerve, which controls voice quality. Minimally invasive and endoscopic approaches offer excellent cosmetic outcomes with minimal scarring.
Common indications for thyroid surgery
- Thyroid cancer (papillary, follicular, medullary)
- Large goitre causing difficulty swallowing or breathing
- Hyperthyroidism (Graves disease) not controlled by medication
- Suspicious thyroid nodule on FNAC (Bethesda III–VI)
- Toxic multinodular goitre
