Thyroid conditions such as goiter, nodules, or cancer may require surgical intervention when conservative treatments are ineffective or when there are concerns about malignancy. Dr. Uday Ravi, an experienced laparoscopic and endocrine surgeon in Bangalore, specializes in performing safe and effective thyroid surgeries to treat various thyroid-related disorders.
Common Thyroid Conditions Requiring Surgery
Goiter: An enlarged thyroid gland that can cause difficulty swallowing or breathing.
Thyroid Nodules: Non-cancerous or cancerous lumps in the thyroid gland that may require removal.
Thyroid Cancer: A malignant growth in the thyroid that often necessitates a thyroidectomy (removal of the thyroid gland).
Hyperthyroidism: Overproduction of thyroid hormones, which may be treated with surgery if medications and other treatments are ineffective.
Types of Thyroid Surgery
Thyroid Lobectomy
Removal of one lobe of the thyroid, often performed when there are benign nodules or other localized issues.
Total Thyroidectomy
Complete removal of the thyroid gland, typically required in cases of thyroid cancer or severe hyperthyroidism.
Subtotal Thyroidectomy
Removal of most of the thyroid gland, leaving a small portion intact to maintain some hormone production.
Endoscopic Thyroid Surgery
A minimally invasive technique using small incisions and an endoscope to remove thyroid tissue, reducing recovery time and scarring.
Benefits of Thyroid Surgery
Effective Treatment: Removes problematic thyroid tissue, helping to control symptoms and prevent further complications.
Improved Quality of Life: Alleviates symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, breathing problems, or hormone imbalances.
Minimally Invasive Options: Techniques like endoscopic thyroid surgery provide quicker recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring.
