Thyroidectomy Surgery in Dubai
Thyroidectomy
Thyroidectomy is a surgical process that involves the removal of all or part of the thyroid gland. A butterfly-shaped gland positioned at the bottom of the neck is a Thyroid in front of the trachea. Hormones that control every element of your metabolism, from heart rate to calorie-burn rate, are secreted by the thyroid gland.

The treatment begins with a tiny incision on the neck, which is frequently hidden in a skinfold where it will be difficult to notice once healed. Part or all of the thyroid gland is removed depending on the disease. It takes almost 1-2 hours to complete the process.
