Thyroid is a small, butterfly shaped gland located at the front of your neck under your skin. It is part of your endocrine system and controls many important functions of the body by producing and releasing thyroid hormone. Thyroid Gland's main role is to control the metabolism rate, which is the process of how your body transforms the food you consume into energy. All of the cells in your body need energy to function.
However at times the thyroid gland may malfunction leading to hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is basically production of excess amount of thyroid hormone and hypothyroidism is production of less amount of thyroid hormone. Hyperthyroidism can be the result of an autoimmune problem, too much iodine in the diet, a benign tumor in the pituitary gland, too much thyroid medication or a swelling (goiter) in the thyroid gland. In such case our surgeon in Gurgaon, India may advise for a thyroid surgery which can be either partial thyroidectomy also called hemithyroidectomy or a radical or full thyroidectomy.
Reasons for Thyroid Surgery
Thyroid Cancer - Cancer is the most common reason for thyroid surgery or thyroidectomy at our Hospita in Gurgaon, India. If you have thyroid cancer, Dr S P Bhanot our chief surgeon would suggest removing most or all of your thyroid as the best treatment option.
Non-cancerous enlargement of the thyroid (goiter) - Another reason for which Dr S P Bhanot may advise for the thyroid surgery could be for a large goiter. A large goiter may be uncomfortable or make it hard to breathe or swallow. A goiter may also be removed if it's causing your thyroid to be overactive.
Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) - In hyperthyroidism, your thyroid gland produces too much of the hormone thyroxine. Thyroidectomy may advised if you have problems with anti-thyroid drugs or if you don't want radioactive iodine therapy. These are two other common treatments for hyperthyroidism.
Suspicious thyroid nodules - Some thyroid nodules can't be identified as cancerous or non-cancerous after testing a sample from a needle biopsy. If your nodules are at increased risk of being cancerous, you may be a candidate for thyroidectomy or thyroid surgery.
As mentioned above thyroid surgery can be of two types that are performed at Bhanot Hospital, Gurgaon, India, either partial thyroidectomy and radical thyroidectomy.
Hemi-Thyroidectomy or Partial Thyroid Surgery - The surgeon removes one lobe (one half) of your thyroid.
Total Thyroidectomy - A total thyroidectomy removes the entire thyroid and the thyroid tissue. This surgery is appropriate when nodules, swelling, or inflammation affect the entire thyroid gland, or when cancer is present.
Before thyroid surgery there are lot of diagnostic tests that needs to be done for the diagnosis and the planning of surgery. The investigations that are generally advised by Dr S P Bhanot at Gurgaon hospital are:
FNAC of the Growth in Thyroid Gland / Neck
Blood Tests
