How long it takes to be discharged from the hospital after thyroid surgery needs to be determined by the specific type of surgery, and it usually takes about 3 to 10 days to be discharged from the hospital. Because thyroid surgery is superficial, if the supraglottic and recurrent laryngeal nerves were not injured during the surgery, the discharge criteria are usually met in 3 to 5 days. If radical thyroid surgery is done, it is more traumatic. Postoperative drainage tubes need to be retained, and patients also need to be observed for surgical complications, and usually need to be hospitalized for at least 7~10 days before discharge. Patients with thyroid disease who need surgical treatment should go to a regular hospital for treatment, and the time of discharge should be judged according to the type of surgery. Actively cooperate with experienced doctors for surgical treatment and good post-operative care to facilitate post-operative recovery.
