Thyroid & Parathyroid Surgery
The imbalances caused by thyroid and parathyroid disorders are treated with advanced minimal surgical care.
Thyroid & Parathyroid Surgery
The thyroid and 4 small parathyroid glands are present in the neck region and are responsible for various metabolic processes in the body, and calcium balance, respectively. The thyroid is responsible for many metabolic and hormone-related processes, whereas the parathyroid is responsible for the calcium balance in the body. Any disorder in these glands is treated with surgical intervention. The nerve associated with the voice box lies very close to these glands; surgical skill and technique play a vital role. Depending upon the condition and involvement of both glands, partial or complete gland removal is undertaken. Dr Anand Subash’s experience and surgical skill ensure safe surgery and faster recovery. He performs this surgery with an advanced minimally invasive method for minimal scar.
