Advantages and disadvantages of lumpectomy thyroid surgery

  Thyroid surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures in general surgery, and thyroid disease is common in women, so female thyroid surgery is the most common procedure. The conventional thyroid surgery wound is a “disfiguring” cut on the neck, which is difficult for beautiful women to accept: imagine raising a glass of wine at the dinner table and looking up at a discomforting cut on the neck of a beautiful woman who is also raising a glass. But well, the development of medicine has been able to change this, that is, lumpectomy thyroid surgery.  The so-called lumpectomy thyroid surgery is currently a popular cosmetic thyroid surgery, of course, the neck is not to see that ugly scar, instead of the chest that 1 to 3 wounds can be negligible after healing.  The advantages are: 1, the conventional surgical incision to cut the dermal nerve causes post-operative neck discomfort, abnormal sensation is not; 2, to female patients caused a lot of psychological burden, low self-esteem is not, especially in social occasions; 3, skilled doctors can complete the surgery in a very short time, the entire procedure can not see bleeding; 4, the patient’s recovery after surgery more smooth and fast, hospitalization The time of hospitalization is significantly shortened.  Of course, we can’t always talk about the advantages, everything is accompanied by disadvantages, and lumpectomy thyroid surgery is the same: 1, the need to separate the surgical space under the skin in front of the chest, the surgery is relatively more traumatic; 2, if it is a malignant tumor may have to be changed to the original open conventional surgery, which will increase the economic burden of the patient; 3, the requirements for the surgeon are high, not only the rich experience in traditional thyroid surgery, but also the need for proficient endoscopic surgery skills; 3, the surgeon must have a wealth of experience in traditional thyroid surgery. It requires not only rich experience in traditional thyroid surgery, but also proficient endoscopic surgery skills; 4. Each case costs more than 1000 RMB than conventional surgery.  Not all thyroid surgeries are performed by lumpectomy. The procedure is decided by the surgeon who has the ability to perform lumpectomy thyroid surgery together with the patient. Of course, there are a series of preoperative evaluations, such as tumors too large for lumpectomy, patients with underlying diseases that are not suitable for lumpectomy, basic exclusion of external malignant tumors, selection of surgical incisions, etc. This is a professional matter. As for some people’s concerns about too much space for preoperative chest surgery and damage to the laryngeal nerve, with the advancement of lumpectomy technology, there is no need to worry too much now.  The lumpectomy thyroid surgery and conventional thyroid surgery are two types of thyroid surgery, and I believe that lumpectomy thyroid surgery can help more and more people who love beauty to accomplish their wishes!
