If thyroid nodule surgery is performed, the length of stay varies from hospital to hospital, depending on the nature of the nodule, the patient’s physical condition and other factors. In addition, in cases of combined hyperthyroidism, a longer preparation time, up to 14 days, may be required before surgery. Thyroid nodules generally require 1-3 days of preparation prior to surgery. After surgery, if there are no complications, the drains can be removed in 3-5 days and the patient can be discharged from the hospital. In addition, some elderly patients are in poor health and can be discharged relatively longer after surgery. In some malignant thyroid nodules, regional lymph node dissection is required, and if the trauma is large, it takes longer to reduce the drainage fluid to the standard of tube removal, and the hospital stay is prolonged. Patients are advised to keep a relaxed mind, not to be overly nervous, to actively cooperate with doctors and nurses, and at the same time should maintain a regular diet, not to eat spicy and stimulating food, and after discharge should pay attention to more rest and not to engage in heavy physical labor too early.
