About Thyroidectomy

This information is intended for general information only and should not be considered as medical advice on the part of Health-Tourism.com. Any decision on medical treatments, after-care or recovery should be done solely upon proper consultation and advice of a qualified physician.

What is Thyroidectomy?
Thyroidectomy is a surgery performed to remove the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is located over the trachea, below the larynx. It is an endocrine gland of the body that secretes its products and hormones into the blood. Total thyroidectomy is the removal of the whole gland, while partial or subtotal thyroidectomy is the removal of a portion of the thyroid gland.
Thyroidectomy is performed to remove tumor from the thyroid gland or it is done to cut an enlarged thyroid gland that has resulted in a goiter. It is also performed on patients with hyperthyroidism, which is over production of the thyroid hormone.

How is a Thyroidectomy performed?
Once the patient receives anesthesia, a tube is placed in the windpipe to provide air to the patient during the operation. A surgical incision in made in the neck over the thyroid gland. The surgeon takes utmost care not to injure any gland and nerves while removing the thyroid gland. Then, the blood supply is clamped to the portion or the whole gland that has been removed. After this, a part or the entire thyroid gland is removed. A catheter may be placed in the surgical area to drain blood and tissue fluids. This will be removed in a couple of days. The incision is then closed and dressing is applied to the surgical area.

How to prepare for a Thyroidectomy?

  • Before a thyroidectomy, different kinds of test and examination are conducted on the patient to find out about the thyroid disease. These are as follows:
    • Tests to determine the active thyroid hormone levels in the body
    • Blood test to measure the TSH hormone level in the blood
    • Sonogram
    • CT scan
    • Needle biopsy
    • Usage of nuclear medicine to evaluate thyroid function (This is not a routine test)
  • Patients may be required to take thyroid medication 1 to 2 weeks before the surgery.
  • Patients who are suffering from hyperthyroidism may be required to take anti-thyroid medication.
  • Patients may be required to stop certain medication a week before the procedure if it is advised by the doctor.
  • Patients should inform the doctor about health and medical conditions such as pregnancy or heart disease
  • Patients should stop smoking some weeks prior to the surgery to avoid healing problems.

Duration of procedure/surgery : Approximately 4 hours if the entire thyroid is removed. Lesser time is taken if only a part of the thyroid is removed.
