More Information on Thyroidectomy

Indication

Thyroidectomy is sugged by the doctor in following cases:

• Overactive Thyroid (Hyperthyroidism): A condition when the thyroid gland produces hormone thyroxine in excess. This condition can be be treated medically by taking anti-thyroid medicines and therapy of radioactive iodine. 
• Thyroid Cancer
• Goitre: Non cancerous growth of thyroid gland causing hyperthyroidism or causing difficulty in swallowing or breathing is goitre.

Pre-Procedure

The doctor will recommend

• To undergo a few tests, such as imaging tests, CT scan, ultrasound, etc. to identify the location of the abnormal thyroid growth.
• Fine needle aspiration to identify whether the growth is cancerous or not, in some cases
• Iodine treatments or thyroid medicine 1 or 2 weeks before the surgery to reduce the risk of bleeding and regulate the function of the gland
• Stopping blood thinning medications at least 10 days before the procedure
• Fasting 8 to 10 hours prior to the surgery

During-Procedure

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia by an experienced general or laparoscopic surgeon. It can take upto 3 hours. 

Depending on the reason for the surgery, any of the below mentioned technique can be used:

• Open Thyroidectomy: An incision in made in the center of the neck to access the thyroid gland directly. The gland is removed and incision is sutured. 
• Laparoscopic Thyroidectomy: 3 to 4 minor incisions are made in the neck to insert a small video camera and surgical tools. Using the tools, the surgeon will remove entire or a part of the gland.
• A small tube may be put inside for 1 to 2 days to empty blood and other fluid that may build up. 
• In case of cancer, lymph nodes besided the gland are examined and removed if required.

Post-Procedure

It is common that the patient experiences pain in the throat and has a weak voice, after the procedure. These are temporary conditions.

The patient will be discharged in 1 to 2 days after the surgery. Most of the patients can eat and drink normally in a few days.
