Total thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the entire thyroid gland. It may be recommended for thyroid cancer, certain large or symptomatic goitres, or thyroid conditions affecting both sides of the gland. Surgery is carefully planned to protect the nearby nerves and parathyroid glands while achieving complete removal when indicated.
Hemithyroidectomy involves removing one lobe of the thyroid gland along with the connecting isthmus. It is often considered when disease is confined to one side of the thyroid, allowing the healthy portion of the gland to remain when appropriate.
Thyroid cancer surgery focuses on removing the thyroid cancer while preserving important surrounding structures, including the recurrent laryngeal nerves and parathyroid glands whenever possible. The extent of surgery is determined by the type, size, location, and stage of the cancer.
Thyroid nodule surgery may be recommended when a nodule is suspicious for cancer, causes significant symptoms, continues to grow, or cannot be adequately characterized through evaluation. The surgical approach depends on the nodule’s characteristics and whether one or both sides of the thyroid are involved.
Goitre surgery focuses on removing an enlarged thyroid gland when it causes significant symptoms, cosmetic concerns, hormonal problems, or suspicion of malignancy. The procedure is planned according to the size and extent of the goitre and its relationship with nearby structures.
Parathyroid surgery involves removing one or more abnormal parathyroid glands responsible for excessive production of parathyroid hormone. The procedure aims to restore healthy calcium and hormone levels while carefully protecting the remaining parathyroid glands and nearby structures.
