Thyroid Surgery
Thyroid surgery (thyroidectomy) involves removing part or all of the butterfly-shaped thyroid gland in the lower neck. Common reasons include large multinodular goiters causing neck heaviness or difficulty swallowing, toxic hyperfunctioning nodules, and suspicious thyroid nodules or thyroid cancer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dr. Jalpesh meticulously identifies and preserves the recurrent laryngeal and superior laryngeal nerves during dissection, keeping your voice safe and natural.
If only half the gland is removed (hemithyroidectomy), the remaining half often produces enough hormones naturally. If the entire gland is removed (total thyroidectomy), a simple daily thyroxine tablet maintains normal hormone levels.
The incision is placed in a natural horizontal skin crease low on the neck and closed with fine sub-cuticular plastic sutures, resulting in a faint hairline scar that fades over time.
Most patients stay for 24 to 48 hours for observation and can resume normal speech, eating, and desk work within a week.
