A thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of the thyroid gland, which is located in the neck and produces hormones that regulate metabolism.
This surgery is typically performed to treat thyroid cancer, a non-cancerous enlargement of the thyroid (goiter), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), or suspicious thyroid nodules.
To reach the thyroid gland, the surgeon makes an incision at the front of the neck. Advanced techniques like minimally invasive surgery or robotic-assisted surgery may also be used in some cases.
With proper medication and follow-up care, most people can lead a normal, healthy life. Regular blood tests will be needed to monitor thyroid hormone levels.
In many cases, the remaining part of the thyroid can produce enough hormones, but some patients may still require hormone replacement therapy.
After a thyroidectomy, you can generally eat and drink normally, but soft foods and plenty of fluids are recommended initially. Follow your surgeon's specific postoperative dietary guidelines.
