Surgical Removal of Thyroid Gland

A thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure in which all or part of the thyroid gland is removed. This operation is typically performed by general, endocrine, or head & neck surgeons to treat conditions such as:
  • Thyroid cancer
  • Goiter (enlarged thyroid)
  • Thyroid nodules or tumors
  • Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism)
At Srikara Hospitals, Vijayawada, we provide safe, precise, and minimally invasive thyroid surgery with comprehensive post-operative care.
Types of Thyroidectomy
  • Total Thyroidectomy – Removal of the entire thyroid gland
  • Partial or Hemithyroidectomy – Removal of one lobe of the thyroid
  • Subtotal Thyroidectomy – Most of the gland is removed, leaving a small portion

The type of surgery depends on the condition being treated and the size of the thyroid.

Pre-Operative Care Instructions

 

To ensure a safe thyroidectomy:

  • Discuss all medications, supplements, and medical conditions with your doctor
  • Stop blood-thinning medications if advised
  • Do not eat or drink 6–8 hours before surgery
  • Arrange for transport home as you should not drive after the procedure
  • Inform your surgeon about allergies or previous neck surgeries

What to Expect During Surgery

  • Thyroidectomy is performed under general anesthesia
  • A small incision is made in the front of the neck
  • The surgeon carefully removes all or part of the thyroid gland
  • Nearby structures, such as the parathyroid glands and vocal cords, are carefully preserved
  • Surgery usually lasts 1–3 hours, depending on complexity

Post-Operative Care Instructions

  • Most patients take 1–2 weeks off work for recovery
  • Avoid driving for at least one week
  • Mild pain, swelling, or stiffness in the neck is normal and managed with medication
  • Keep the surgical site clean and dry
  • Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor healing
  • Depending on how much thyroid was removed, you may need thyroid hormone replacement therapy
