Thyroidectomy
A partial thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing a portion of the thyroid gland. Typically, this procedure is performed to treat thyroid nodules, thyroid cancer, or hyperthyroidism. During the surgery, the surgeon makes an incision in the neck to access the thyroid gland and carefully removes the affected portion while preserving the remaining healthy tissue. This approach aims to maintain thyroid function while addressing the underlying condition. Following the procedure, patients may experience temporary hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or changes in voice tone. However, with proper post-operative care and follow-up, most individuals can expect a successful recovery and improved thyroid health.
