Thyroidectomy at ISWARYA HOSPITAL
Thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure where part or all of the thyroid gland is removed, depending on the patient’s condition. This surgery is often required to treat various thyroid issues, such as thyroid nodules, goiter, hyperthyroidism, or thyroid cancer. At ISWARYA HOSPITAL, located in OMR Chennai, our team of specialized surgeons utilizes advanced surgical methods to treat thyroid-related conditions, ensuring patients receive optimal care and the best possible outcomes.
When is Thyroidectomy Necessary?
A thyroidectomy may be recommended for patients experiencing conditions like:
- Thyroid Nodules: Abnormal lumps in the thyroid, which can sometimes be cancerous or cause other health issues.
- Goiter: An enlarged thyroid gland that may interfere with swallowing or breathing.
- Hyperthyroidism: Overproduction of thyroid hormones that cannot be controlled by medication alone.
- Thyroid Cancer: In cases where the presence of cancerous cells is confirmed, removing part or all of the thyroid gland is necessary.
Common Symptoms of Thyroid Conditions:
- Noticeable swelling in the neck
- Breathing or swallowing difficulties
- Fatigue or changes in energy levels
- Sudden weight fluctuations
- Irregular hormone levels impacting mood or metabolism
Types of Thyroidectomy Performed at ISWARYA HOSPITAL:
- Total Thyroidectomy: Removal of the entire thyroid, often indicated in cases of cancer or severe thyroid conditions.
- Partial Thyroidectomy (Lobectomy): Removal of a portion of the thyroid, typically for smaller nodules or localized thyroid conditions.
- Completion Thyroidectomy: A follow-up procedure when additional thyroid tissue needs to be removed after a partial surgery.
The Thyroidectomy Process:
At ISWARYA HOSPITAL, our surgical team ensures a safe and efficient process for each thyroidectomy. With the use of modern techniques, the procedure is tailored to each patient’s needs.
Steps Involved:
- Pre-Surgery Assessment: Before the surgery, our specialists will perform a detailed evaluation using diagnostic tools like ultrasounds, blood tests, and sometimes biopsies. This helps in planning the exact surgical approach required for each case.
- Surgical Procedure: Performed under general anesthesia, the surgery involves a small incision in the lower neck to access the thyroid gland. Depending on the complexity, the procedure usually takes between one to two hours.
- Post-Surgical Care: Most patients can expect a smooth recovery, with detailed guidance provided on aftercare. Any necessary hormone adjustments, depending on the amount of thyroid removed, will be managed by our experts.
Why Thyroidectomy is Beneficial:
- Provides relief from symptoms like difficulty breathing or swallowing caused by an enlarged thyroid.
- Reduces the risk of complications associated with untreated thyroid cancer or severe hyperthyroidism.
- Improves overall well-being by resolving hormone-related issues.
