[Shrtnsweet01]

great video im getting my thyroid taken out in about 2 weeks im 21 and have a 18 month old daughter i wanted to see how the surgery was im kinda scared

[Alize101586]

My mom is getting ready to have this surgery b/c hers is overgrown and causing her trachea to be deviated. Pray for my mom! Surgery's next week!

[doctorawadallah]

when the underlying cause is cancer, you have to take it totally out, if there is another cause which can be corrected with medications then there is no need to take it out

[scryerofold]

Why take it out if it's not working. Why not just give replacement meds.

[Darote]

@scryerofold if its enlarged may cause compression on structures around also in this cause it could be malignant there is different reasons to take the decision to take it out

I hate when they put music cause u don't know what they are doing

[rmcdaniel423]

Hack and slash is the last resort. But . . . . sometimes it's the best option. Become very well informed before any surgery.

[3xDecker]

Before doing this get many many opinions from different specialists. Do research yourself as well... Not having a thyroid is debilitating... meds for life.

[yourleaderslie]

research this completely before going this route! After this surgery you will be dependant on meds for LIFE. There are other options, exhaust those first.

@yourleaderslie

Yes but if there is a small amount of large nodules, they could be malignant and surgery is required. However if the ultrasound scan show multiple small nodules it can be corrected with medication, as the nodules are benign and it is a typical case of Grave's disease.

Anyhow always see more than one doctor in such cases.

[rzam]

a very risky and health debilitating procedure and not recommended for anyone

[Steelrigg]

Hi,,, no worrys.. I had this done back in 84 its not such a big deal apart from some discomfort the first few days... I need to take levothyrxine now but all is ok.... so go ahead dont worry.

freaky ass music.

[0ctopi]

how long does this whole proceure take? what are the risks of it?

[kosummak]

Risks : Immediate : Damage to Superior & inferior Thyroid Arteries ==> Hematoma & compression on the upper airways Damage to the Recurrent laryngeal & superior Thyroid nerves ==> Changes in voice pitch & laryngeal muscles Perforation of the tracheal muscles Damage to the surrounding Main vessels ( Carotid & jugular ) Removal of the Parathyroid in the first week : Infection of the wound Hypothyroidism Other than the risk of General anesthesia Not that hypothyroidism is inevitable

[cutiepiepuddin]

How hard it is to embrace the idea that radiation can really solve a malady that some countries most routinely deal with by surgery? It's most odd, to me. That may prove to be my least forward-looking-seeming viewpoint ever, but there you go. It looks a bit wanton to me from 40,000 feet though!. :-)

[CuriousCK]

What's the name of the song?

[xrayxl]
