Thyroid at World Class Hospitals in India
Thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in your neck,
just above your collarbone. It is one of your
endocrine glands, which make hormones. Thyroid
hormones control the rate of many activities in
your body. These include how fast you burn
calories and how fast your heart beats. All of
these activities are your body's metabolism. If
your thyroid gland is not active enough, it is
called hypothyroidism. It can make you gain
weight, feel fatigued, and have difficulty
dealing with cold temperatures.
If your thyroid is too active, it makes more
thyroid hormones than your body needs. That
condition is called hyperthyroidism.

Disorders of Thyroid -
Hypothyroidism This disorder attacks women more
than men. Hypothyroidism results from
under-active thyroid gland which results in less
production of thyroid hormones that leads to lots
of weight gain, hypertension and other problems.
This is a very common disease which occurs in
many children and aged people. Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism results from over active the
thyroid glands which result in increased
production of thyroid hormones which leads to
over stimulation (weight loss, tension, anxiety
and others). Postpartum Thyroiditis After
giving birth to a baby, a females thyroid glands
may swell and turn larger in size. This type
growth of glands to a very large extent is due to
Postpartum Thyroiditis. Thyroid Cancer Thyroid
cancer is also of many types. This is due to the
lump. Once you are affected by thyroid cancer,
surgery is the only option.

What is Thyroidectomy ?

• A thyroidectomy is an operation to remove all, or
  part, of your thyroid gland. If all of your
  thyroid gland is removed, it's called a total
  thyroidectomy. If only part of it is removed,
  it's called a partial thyroidectomy, a sub-total
  thyroidectomy or a lobectomy. A thyroidectomy is
  used to treat several conditions, including
• an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism) a
  condition where your thyroid gland produces and
  releases excess hormones.
• an enlarged thyroid gland (goitre)
• cancer of your thyroid gland
• a cyst or benign (non-cancerous) lump on your
  thyroid gland
• Total Thyroidectomy It is the most common of
  type of thyroid surgeries. With this surgery the
  entire gland is removed.
• Partial/Subtotal Thyroidectomy It is the
  operation where only a portion of the gland is
  removed. Occasionally the isthmus and a piece of
  the second lobe may also be removed.

Minimally Invasive Thyroid Surgery in India
Minimally invasive thyroid surgery is performed
through a small 2-3cm keyhole incision placed
directly over the enlarged thyroid nodule. It is
generally suitable for patients with small
thyroid nodules, less then 3cm in maximum
diameter. Through the small incision the surgeon
removes the thyroid nodules as well as the
surrounding thyroid gland, taking great care not
to injure the nearby nerves. The skin incision is
closed and many patients can go home after an
overnight stay in hospital.
This technique allows the surgeon to see inside
the patients body and operate through a much
smaller incision than would otherwise be required
for traditional open surgery.
