Frequently asked questions
Does every thyroid nodule require surgery?
No. The decision depends on size, ultrasound features and biopsy result. Many nodules only require follow-up.
How does the scar look?
A careful incision is made following the neck's natural folds so the scar is as discreet as possible.
Will I need to take medication afterwards?
If the whole thyroid is removed, you'll need to take thyroid hormone for life. If partial, it depends on the case.
How long will I be hospitalized?
Most patients go home the day after the procedure.
A specialized evaluation avoids unnecessary surgery.
If you were diagnosed with a thyroid nodule or goiter, book a consultation to define if surgery is really needed.
