The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ located in front of the trachea. It is responsible for the production of the vital hormones T3 and T4.
Some thyroid diseases are treated with surgery. These are thyroid cancer and large neoplasms.
Thyroid surgeries (goiter surgery) take approximately 1 hour. It is sufficient to stay in the hospital for 1 night after surgery.
The most dangerous complication of thyroid surgery (goiter surgery) is nerve damage to the vocal cords. For this reason, nerve monitoring (imaging) systems developed in recent years reduce the risk of nerve damage during surgery. This system is actively used in our clinic.
