A thyroidectomy is a surgical process for the removal of the thyroid gland. The most common reason for this surgery is to treat thyroid cancer. However, it may also be done to treat goitres, graves' disease, and other conditions that affect the Thyroid.

The thyroidectomy procedure is used to treat various conditions, including cancer, goitres, and hyperthyroidism. Thyroidectomy can be performed as an open surgery or laparoscopic surgery.

Thyroidectomy Procedure 

The surgery is performed by an incision in the front of the neck, just below Adam's apple. The surgeon removes the affected area of the thyroid gland through the incision. Sometimes, a second incision may be made to remove larger tumours.

After the procedure, you will need to take medication to replace the hormones your thyroid gland typically produces. These hormones are essential for regulating your metabolism and body temperature.

You will likely stay in the hospital for one or two nights after your surgery. You will be monitored for any complications, such as bleeding or infection, during this time. You can expect to feel tired and have some pain in your neck and throat for a few weeks post-surgery. This may be done for a number of reasons, including cancer, goitre, or Graves’ disease.
