Thyroid Surgery

Tired of Neck Swelling, Voice Changes, or Constant Discomfort?

Thyroid Surgery by thyroid specialist Dr. Prashant Verma can be the solution.

  • Noticeable lump in the front of your neck?
  • Trouble swallowing or feeling of tightness?
  • Voice becoming hoarse or weak?
  • Diagnosed with thyroid nodules or goiter?
  • Suspicion of thyroid cancer?

What is Thyroid Disease and Why Surgery Is Sometimes Needed?

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that regulates metabolism, energy, and hormonal balance. But sometimes, this gland can develop issues such as nodules, enlargement (goiter), or even cancer. These conditions may cause symptoms like swelling in the neck, difficulty in breathing or swallowing, voice changes, or hormonal imbalance.

When medications or observation aren’t enough — especially in cases of large goiter, suspicious nodules, or confirmed thyroid cancer — thyroid surgery becomes essential. Dr. Prashant Verma offers safe, precise, and minimally invasive thyroid operations for lasting relief and better quality of life.

थायरॉयड की बीमारी क्या है और सर्जरी कब ज़रूरी होती है?

थायरॉयड एक तितली के आकार की ग्रंथि होती है जो गर्दन के आगे हिस्से में स्थित होती है। यह शरीर के मेटाबॉलिज्म और हार्मोन बैलेंस को नियंत्रित करती है। कई बार इसमें गाँठ (नोड्यूल), सूजन (गॉइटर), या कैंसर जैसी समस्याएं हो सकती हैं।

इसके लक्षणों में शामिल हो सकते हैं:
🧣 गर्दन में सूजन या उभार
🥴 निगलने या साँस लेने में तकलीफ़
🗣 आवाज़ में बदलाव
⚖ हार्मोन असंतुलन

अगर दवाइयां असर नहीं कर रही हों, या थायरॉयड में कैंसर या बड़ी गाँठ का संदेह हो, तो सर्जरी ज़रूरी हो जाती है। डॉ. प्रशांत वर्मा द्वारा की गई थायरॉयड सर्जरी सुरक्षित, आधुनिक और कम दर्द वाली होती है — जिससे आप जल्दी ठीक होकर सामान्य जीवन जी सकते हैं।

    • Voice changes or hoarseness
    • Throat discomfort or pressure
    • Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
    • Palpitations, anxiety, or mood changes
    • Constant fatigue or poor sleep

What is Thyroid Surgery?

Thyroid surgery (also called thyroidectomy) is a procedure to remove part or all of the thyroid gland, a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that regulates metabolism, energy, and hormone balance. Surgery is often needed when there are nodules, goiters, or suspected thyroid cancer that require removal for diagnosis or treatment.

When is Thyroid Surgery Needed?

Thyroid surgery is recommended in cases such as:

  • Thyroid nodules that are large, growing, or suspicious
  • Thyroid cancer (confirmed or suspected)
  • Goiter (enlarged thyroid) causing breathing/swallowing difficulty
  • Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) not managed with medications
  • Cosmetic or pressure-related concerns in the neck

Common Surgical Approaches

  • Hemithyroidectomy – Removal of one lobe (half) of the thyroid — usually for nodules or localized issues. Preserves partial gland function.
  • Total Thyroidectomy – Complete removal of the thyroid gland — typically done in cases of thyroid cancer or multinodular goiter.
  • Near-Total / Subtotal Thyroidectomy – Most of the thyroid is removed, leaving behind a small portion. This may be done in specific benign conditions.
  • Minimally Invasive / Endoscopic Thyroid Surgery – Small-incision or scarless approaches (from underarm or mouth) used in select cases — offering quicker recovery and minimal visible scarring.

Benefits of Thyroid Surgery

  • Accurate diagnosis of suspicious or cancerous nodules
  • Relief from pressure symptoms like choking or difficulty breathing
  • Control of overactive thyroid symptoms
  • Removal of cancer with improved long-term outcomes
  • Cosmetic relief from unsightly or large neck swellings

FAQs

Dr. Prashant Verma is a highly experienced thyroid surgeon, known for safe, precise and minimally invasive surgeries for thyroid conditions including:

  • Thyroid nodules or goiter
  • Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)
  • Thyroid cancer
  • Cosmetic or compressive thyroid swellings
  • He specializes in nerve-sparing techniques, ensuring minimal complications and a fast, smooth recovery with small scars and high safety.

Thyroid medications help regulate hormones, but they may not reduce the size of a thyroid lump, nodule or goiter. If your swelling is increasing, feels hard, or causes discomfort in swallowing or breathing, it may require further evaluation.Dr. Verma conducts a thorough check-up including:

  • Ultrasound neck
  • FNAC (Needle test)
  • Thyroid function test
  • Scans to assess pressure on windpipe (trachea)

Yes. Thyroid disorders can lead to varied symptoms, even when a lump is not visible:

  • Palpitations, anxiety, or mood swings
  • Weight gain or loss
  • Menstrual irregularities
  • Hoarseness or voice change
  • Trouble swallowing or a choking sensation at night

Dr. Verma believes in individualized care — no one-size-fits-all approach.

He considers:

  • Whether the condition is benign or cancerous
  • Thyroid hormone levels and general health
  • Family history or risk factors
  • Cosmetic and voice-related concerns
  • Your goals — medical vs surgical management

✅ Based on this, he may recommend observation, medication, minimally invasive surgery, or further tests.

You may need thyroid surgery if:

  • The thyroid lump is large, painful, or growing
  • FNAC shows suspicious or cancerous changes
  • You have difficulty breathing, swallowing, or voice changes
  • You have uncontrolled hyperthyroidism not responding to medicines
  • Cosmetic disfigurement from goiter bothers you

🔍 Dr. Verma offers both Total and Hemi-Thyroidectomy with minimal scarring, nerve preservation, and day-care discharge options in many cases.

Sometimes, needle tests (FNAC) are not enough to confirm or rule out thyroid cancer. If the swelling is hard, growing, or causing symptoms, further evaluation is necessary.

🩺 Dr. Verma may recommend:

  • Repeat FNAC or core biopsy
  • Thyroid scan or CT neck
  • Surgical removal with frozen section biopsy if needed

➡️ It’s important not to delay treatment if your clinical signs point to risk.
