The thyroid gland may be small, but it plays a vital role in regulating your metabolism, heart rate, energy, and more. At BN Clinic 19, Kolkata, our experienced team of ENT Surgeons offers advanced diagnostic services and safe, effective thyroid surgery for a wide range of thyroid conditions.
Whether it’s a thyroid nodule, goitre, or suspected cancer, our personalized approach ensures the right care—at the right time.
Understanding Thyroid Disorders
Your thyroid gland, located at the base of your neck, produces hormones that regulate many bodily functions. When the gland becomes overactive, underactive, enlarged, or develops nodules, it may require medical attention—or even surgical removal.
Common Thyroid Conditions:
- Thyroid Nodules: Lumps that may be benign or malignant. Large nodules may cause breathing or swallowing difficulties.
- Goitre: Enlargement of the thyroid, often visible and sometimes associated with iodine deficiency or autoimmune disorders.
- Hyperthyroidism: Overproduction of thyroid hormones, often due to conditions like Graves’ disease.
- Thyroid Cancer: May appear as a painless lump or swelling in the neck, often detected via USG + FNAC
- Thyroid Cysts or Abscesses: Fluid-filled sacs or infections in the gland requiring surgical drainage or removal.
When Is Thyroid Surgery Required?
Not all thyroid problems need surgery. But your doctor may recommend it when:
- A thyroid nodule is suspicious or cancerous
- A large goitre is causing breathing or swallowing problems
- Hyperthyroidism is not responding to medication or radioactive iodine
- There’s a recurrent thyroid cyst or abscess
- Thyroid cancer has been confirmed
Types of Thyroid Surgery Offered at BN Clinic 19
Our expert surgeons perform both minimally invasive and conventional thyroid surgeries, depending on your condition.
1. Hemithyroidectomy
Removal of one lobe of the thyroid gland—usually done for benign nodules or suspicious lumps.
2. Total Thyroidectomy
Complete removal of the thyroid gland—often necessary in cases of thyroid cancer, large goitre, or uncontrolled hyperthyroidism.
3. Completion Thyroidectomy
Performed when a second surgery is needed after initial partial thyroid removal.
4. Minimally Invasive Thyroid Surgery
In select patients, we offer small-incision or endoscopic approaches for faster recovery and less visible scarring.
What to Expect Before and After Thyroid Surgery
Pre-Surgical Evaluation
- Ultrasound & FNAC (Needle Biopsy) to confirm diagnosis
- Blood tests for TSH, T3, T4 and calcium levels
- Vocal cord assessment if surgery involves nerve proximity
Post-Surgical Care
- Monitoring for voice changes or calcium imbalance
- Hormone replacement therapy (if the entire gland is removed)
- Follow-up with endocrinologist or ENT surgeon for long-term management
Most patients recover within 7–10 days and return to normal activities soon after.
