A colleague told me that his mother had thyroid surgery at Anzhen Hospital and the result was very good. So may I ask Director He how to treat my disease? Hospital: From your test results, there are indeed indications for surgery, but you need to come to me for a new examination to determine the patient: I read about your minimally invasive thyroid surgery, which is done under direct vision with tiny incisions to remove the thyroid swelling. Can I also have a small incision like mine? Hospital: In general, any incision of 3CM or less in the neck of a swelling of 3CM can be completed. The incision is chosen at the upper edge of the sternal stalk or at the natural skin line of the neck. Direct view is lumpectomy-free. Multiple lumpectomies cost $1000 more, while the actual result is the same. More to leave a small wound scar in the neck. In fact, the main role is played by the new generation of cutters – ultrasound knife. The wound is usually not visible for 3 months to 6 months. Patient: What if my swelling is malignant? Hospital: The swelling should be sent for frozen pathology immediately after removal. If it is malignant depending on your age and the size of the mass, you can consider a total lobectomy on the affected side + subtotal resection on the opposite side. If no lymph node enlargement metastasis is found on examination, preventive lymphatic dissection can not be done. Post-operative chemotherapy is also not necessary, but long-term oral thyroxine is required. Patient: Thank you, I will go to see you as soon as possible. Please leave a phone number for me.
