This surgical procedure aims to remove the entire thyroid gland, due to different medical reasons, such as: benign tumors, cancer, or hyperthyroidism, among other conditions that cause hormonal disorders.
Surgery usually lasts two or three hours, being necessary to remain under general anesthesia during the entire procedure. After surgery, you will need to stay in the hospital for couple of days to achieve optimal recovery.
During the first few days, you may experience neck swelling and some discomfort when eating. Remember that you will have to monitor the evolution of the wound healing for several months and regularly attend your follow-up appointments to evaluate your hormonal levels.
