What is a thyroidectomy?
A thyroidectomy is the removal of all (total thyroidectomy) or part of the thyroid gland (usually half or a hemi-throidectomy). You may need to have this done because you have a swelling or enlarged gland, or for thyroid cancer treatment.
Dr McIvor will explain to you whether a part or all of your thyroid needs to be removed, in order for you to give fully informed consent. If you do not understand any of the information please ask.
