Question 1

What types of thyroid conditions require surgery?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid surgery may be recommended for thyroid cancer, large goiters that cause difficulty breathing or swallowing, overactive thyroid glands that do not respond to medication, and suspicious thyroid nodules. The type of surgery depends on the condition and may involve removing part or all of the thyroid gland. Your endocrine surgeon will discuss the best approach based on your diagnosis.

Question 2

How long is the recovery after endocrine surgery?

Accepted Answer

Recovery time varies depending on the specific procedure. For thyroid surgery, most patients return to normal activities within one to two weeks. Adrenal surgery may require two to four weeks of recovery. Minimally invasive techniques, which are increasingly used at leading international hospitals, can significantly reduce recovery time and scarring. Follow-up blood work and hormone level monitoring are essential after surgery.
