What to Expect During Thyroid Surgery

Thyroid surgery from our ENT doctors in Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Oxnard, and Camarillo, CA, is often used to correct a thyroid condition or to deal with thyroid cancer. The surgery is fairly simple and extremely important. This can help stop the spread of cancer and help your thyroid start working properly again.

The thyroid sits in the neck and during thyroid surgery, there are certain conditions where the entire thyroid may need to be removed. If you’re dealing with thyroid cancer, surgery is the best way to try and ensure as much of the cancer is removed as possible. Thyroid surgery may also be the first step to recovery and ensuring that there is as little cancer as possible to treat.

If you do have your thyroid removed, you may need to continue visiting your doctor throughout your life for continuous checkups and to ensure that there aren’t any additional issues that are being overlooked.
