What is Thyroidectomy?

A thyroidectomy involves the partial or complete removal of the thyroid gland, depending on the underlying condition. The procedure helps relieve symptoms caused by thyroid enlargement or treat diseases like hyperthyroidism or thyroid cancer.

Surgeons perform this operation carefully to preserve nearby vital structures like the recurrent laryngeal nerve and parathyroid glands, ensuring minimal postoperative complications.

A thyroidectomy may be recommended for patients suffering from the following conditions:

  1. Thyroid Nodules: Lumps in the thyroid that may be benign or cancerous.
  2. Goiter: Non-cancerous enlargement of the thyroid gland that can cause breathing or swallowing difficulty.
  3. Thyroid Cancer: Malignant growth requiring partial or total gland removal.
  4. Hyperthyroidism: Overactive thyroid that doesn’t respond to medication or radioactive iodine therapy.
  5. Multinodular Goiter: Multiple nodules causing neck swelling or cosmetic concerns.
  • Swelling or lump in the neck
  • Difficulty swallowing or breathing
  • Persistent cough or hoarseness
  • Rapid or irregular heartbeat
  • Unexplained weight loss or gain

Medical diagnosis procedure

Diagnosis Before Thyroid Surgery

Before recommending surgery, the doctor may perform several tests to confirm the diagnosis and plan the procedure:

  • Ultrasound of the Neck: To assess the size and structure of the thyroid.
  • Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC): To determine if nodules are benign or malignant.
  • Thyroid Function Tests (T3, T4, TSH): To evaluate hormone levels.
  • CT Scan or MRI (if needed): To check for large goiters or spread of cancer.
  • Vocal Cord Examination: To assess laryngeal nerve function before surgery.

Treatment – Thyroidectomy Procedure

  1. Anesthesia and Preparation
    The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision at the lower part of the neck, carefully exposing the thyroid gland.
  2. Removal of Thyroid Tissue
    Depending on the diagnosis, part or all of the thyroid gland is removed. The surgeon takes great care to protect the nearby nerves controlling the vocal cords and the parathyroid glands, which regulate calcium levels.
  3. Closure and Recovery
    The incision is closed with fine sutures, and a small drain may be placed temporarily to remove excess fluid. Patients are usually discharged within 1–2 days after surgery.

Recovery and Aftercare

  • Hospital stay: 1–2 days (depending on surgery type)
  • Normal eating can usually resume the next day.
  • Voice changes or mild neck discomfort may occur temporarily.
  • Avoid strenuous activities and neck strain for 2–3 weeks.
  • Regular follow-up visits are essential for wound check and hormone level monitoring.
  • If the entire thyroid is removed, lifelong thyroid hormone replacement therapy may be required.

Full recovery generally takes 2–3 weeks, and patients can return to normal work shortly after that.
