List of treatments
Thyroidectomy is the surgery of removal of part or entire thyroid gland. This surgery treats thyroid disorders. Thyroidectomy is effective for noncancerous enlargement of the thyroid (goiter), overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), and cancer. Below are three kinds of Thyroidectomy procedure to ponder at-
- Conventional Thyroidectomy- Known as the most common method in Thyroidectomy, under this process, there is an incision made in the center of the neck that gets access directly to the thyroid gland.
- Transoral Thyroidectomy. In this course, instead of the incision in the neck, it is done inside the mouth.
- Endoscopic Thyroidectomy- Using surgical instruments and a small video camera in this procedure. Relatively smaller incisions are done in the neck. The instruments are inserted in these incisions to guide the surgeon for the procedure.
Takeaway
Depending upon the kind of treatment a patient has undergone, a regular check-up is necessary. For some patients, removal of only a part of the thyroid gland is done. In medical terms, it is known as a partial thyroidectomy. On the condition where the thyroid is removed entirely, the patient will have to visit the doctor regularly and undergo treatment.
