Total Thyroidectomy 

Complete Removal of the Thyroid Gland

A Total Thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the complete removal of the thyroid gland, which is situated at the front of the neck. This surgery is typically performed to treat conditions such as thyroid cancer, large thyroid nodules, or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) that cannot be effectively managed with medication.

Following a Total Thyroidectomy, patients will need to take daily thyroid hormone replacement tablets to maintain normal hormone levels, as the body will no longer produce these essential hormones naturally.

While Total Thyroidectomy is generally considered safe, like any surgical procedure, it carries some risks, including changes in voice, low calcium levels, and the potential for infection.

If you have been diagnosed with a thyroid condition requiring surgical intervention, Total Thyroidectomy is a suitable option for beneficial management.
