Thyroid surgery, also known as thyroidectomy, is a surgical procedure performed by surgeons like Dr. Kunal Chhatbar, a skilled general and laparoscopic surgeon. Common causes for thyroid surgery include thyroid nodules, goiter, and thyroid cancer. Treatment options depend on the underlying condition, with surgery often recommended for larger nodules, cancerous tumors, or cases of hyperthyroidism that don't respond to other treatments.
During the procedure, the surgeon removes part or all of the thyroid gland, aiming to restore hormonal balance and alleviate symptoms. Precise surgical skills are crucial to prevent damage to nearby structures and ensure optimal outcomes for patients undergoing thyroid surgery. Dr. Chhatbar's expertise and use of minimally invasive approaches contribute to improved patient experiences and successful thyroidectomy outcomes.
