What is Total Thyroidectomy?
Total thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure where the entire thyroid gland is removed. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck that produces hormones essential for regulating metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature. This surgery is commonly performed to treat conditions like thyroid cancer, large goitres, or hyperthyroidism unresponsive to medical therapy.
Indications for Total Thyroidectomy
At Khobragade Multispeciality Hospital, Total Thyroidectomy is recommended for:
- Thyroid Cancer: Papillary, follicular, medullary, or anaplastic carcinoma.
- Large Multinodular Goitre: Causing compressive symptoms like difficulty in swallowing or breathing.
- Graves’ Disease: Severe hyperthyroidism not controlled with medications or radioactive iodine therapy.
- Recurrent Thyroid Nodules: Where partial removal was done earlier.
Procedure Overview
The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. A small horizontal incision is made in the lower part of the neck to access the thyroid gland. The surgeon carefully identifies and preserves important structures such as the recurrent laryngeal nerve (which controls voice) and the parathyroid glands (which regulate calcium levels). The entire thyroid gland is then removed, and the incision is closed with fine sutures to minimise scarring.
Benefits of Total Thyroidectomy
- Complete removal of diseased tissue, reducing recurrence risk in cancer.
- Relief from compressive symptoms caused by large goitres.
- Effective control of hyperthyroidism when medical management fails.
- Improved quality of life post-treatment for thyroid cancers.
