The rest time after thyroidectomy is generally related to the size of the trauma caused by the surgery as well as the postoperative recovery.
1. Minimally invasive surgery: Because minimally invasive surgery is generally less traumatic, the recovery time after surgery is relatively fast, about 2 weeks.
2. Traditional Surgery: Traditional surgery is an open surgery, so it is relatively more invasive, resulting in a longer recovery time. In order to shorten the recovery time as much as possible and avoid other complications, patients need to follow the doctor’s instructions, do a good job of anti-infection wounds, and also need to receive regular review.
In addition, thyroid disease has a certain possibility of recurrence, so the postoperative period requires active care, but also need to be regularly reviewed, according to the results of the review.
