Thyroid & Parathyroid Surgery
What is Thyroid & Parathyroid Surgery?
Thyroid & Parathyroid Surgery is performed to remove part or all of the thyroid or parathyroid glands when they become overactive, enlarged, cancerous, or harmful to surrounding structures.
These surgeries focus on restoring normal hormone and calcium balance while protecting essential nerves and tissues.
Modern surgical methods allow smaller incisions, better cosmetic results, and safer outcomes, especially when handled by an experienced head & neck surgeon.
When is it Needed?
For the following conditions, surgery becomes an important step in restoring normal health.
Thyroid Cancer
When a biopsy (FNAC) shows cancer or high suspicion of malignancy, for complete removal of affected thyroid tissue and to prevent spread.
Hyperthyroidism
Overactive thyroid not controlled by medicines may need surgery to protect your heart and metabolism.
Large Nodules/ Goitre
Indicated when the swelling causes difficulty in swallowing, breathing pressure, cosmetic concern, or rapid increase in size.
Hyperparathyroidism
Overactive parathyroid glands leading to high calcium, kidney stones, or bone weakness require surgical correction.
What the Surgery Involves?
During thyroidectomy, ICG (Indocyanine Green) fluorescence imaging is used to identify and preserve the parathyroid glands, significantly reducing the risk of postoperative hypocalcemia.
This ensures safer surgery and better long-term outcomes.
The surgery is performed using delicate, fine instruments to minimise tissue handling and protect the vocal cord nerves. Advanced nerve monitoring systems and ICG technology help preserve essential structures. After removing the diseased gland, closure is done with cosmetic techniques to ensure minimal scarring.
A detailed assessment involving blood tests, ultrasound, scans, and medical review to plan the safest and most effective approach.
Precise removal of the diseased thyroid or parathyroid tissue using minimally invasive or standard techniques while closely protecting nerves and other vital structures.
Monitoring calcium levels, voice function, and incision healing, followed by clear instructions, medications, and follow-up visits to support smooth recovery.
ICG Technology for Safer Thyroid Surgery
To protect the delicate parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery, Dr. Bhavin uses ICG (Indocyanine Green) fluorescence technology. This advanced system helps clearly identify the parathyroids in real time, reducing the chances of accidental injury and significantly lowering the risk of post-operative low calcium levels (hypocalcemia). It adds an extra layer of safety and precision to your surgery.

Smooth Incision Healing
Most patients experience minimal pain and neat scar healing, especially with small incisions.
Voice & Nerve Safety
Mild hoarseness may occur temporarily, but nerve-monitoring significantly reduces risk of lasting voice issues.
