A member asked:
What to expect about thryoid surgery..urgent.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroid surgery: You need to talk to your surgeon. Is this a very-involved extensive surgery for cancer? Or is this for Graves disease or a nodule? Are you in overall good health? The common complications of thyroid surgery are damage to the nerve to your voice box, and accidental removal of the parathyroid glands. In experienced hands, these complications are uncommon.
