What will happen to my voice if i get my thyroid taken out?

Little: First you need a clear reason for thyroid surgery (cancer, suspicious nodule, symptomatic nodule, or medically unresponsive hyperthyroidism), to name a few. Most people have no voice problems-though there known risks to every surgical procedure. The risk of a recurrent laryngeal nerve injury is about 1%. That would result in paralysis of a vocal cord, and some hoarseness.
