A member asked:
Can having my thyroid gland removed affect my voice at all?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Slight chance: One of the risks of thyroid surgery is injuring the nerve to the vocal cord. This can result in hoarseness. However, for an experienced thyroid surgeon, injuring that nerve is a rare occurrence.
