To what extent should the thyroid gland be operated?

Hello, thyroid nodule depends on whether it is bilateral or unilateral. If it is unilateral, the time is much shorter, usually about an hour and a half. If it is bilateral, it will take about two and a half hours. This is based on the doctor's experience and the size of the nodule. Blind surgical resection of nodules is not recommended. The blood vessels around the thyroid gland are extremely rich, involving multiple organs, so there is a risk of accidental injury to blood vessels or nerves during the operation. It is best to treat this disease fundamentally with pure Chinese medicine, such as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, softening and resolving hard mass, soothing the liver and regulating qi. Puncture pathological surgery is mainly to find out benign and malignant nodules, but it is not dangerous. If it is a benign nodule, it is good to check it regularly.
