About thyroid surgery

Thyroid surgery, or thyroidectomy, is a surgical procedure used to treat various thyroid conditions. The thyroid is located in the lower front of the neck and plays a vital role in regulating metabolism through the production of thyroid hormones. At Topmed Medical Center in Târgu Mureș, our multidisciplinary team offers modern, safe solutions for managing thyroid disease.

Indications for thyroidectomy

1. Thyroid nodules

When a nodule is suspected of being malignant or confirmed as thyroid cancer, surgical removal is necessary.

2. Thyroid enlargement (goiter)

An enlarged thyroid may compress the trachea or esophagus, making breathing and swallowing difficult.

3. Hyperthyroidism

When medication or radioactive iodine therapy is ineffective, surgery becomes an option.

4. Thyroid cancer

Partial or total removal may be necessary to prevent the spread of cancer.

Types of thyroidectomy

1. Total thyroidectomy

Complete removal of the thyroid is indicated in cancer or severe hyperthyroidism. After the procedure, the thyroid no longer functions, and lifelong hormone replacement therapy is required.

2. Partial thyroidectomy (lobectomy)

Only one lobe is removed, usually for benign or small nodules. Depending on the remaining lobe’s condition, thyroid function may be partially or fully preserved.

Recovery after thyroidectomy at Topmed Medical Center

After surgery, patients generally require 1–2 days of hospital observation.
At Topmed, our team of endocrinologists and surgeons closely monitors postoperative recovery to ensure safety and promote fast healing.
Resuming daily activities
Depending on the procedure type, most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks.
Hormone replacement therapy
After total thyroidectomy, lifelong thyroid hormone therapy is required. Topmed’s endocrinologists regularly monitor hormone levels and adjust treatment to ensure proper metabolic function.
