ThyroidectomyA thyroidectomy involves the surgical removal of all or part of the thyroid gland. Surgeons often perform a thyroidectomy when a patient has thyroid cancer or some other condition of the thyroid gland . The thyroid produces several hormones, such as thyroxine , triiodothyronine and calcitonin. After the removal of a thyroid patients usually take prescribed oral synthetic thyroid hormones to prevent the most serious manifestations of the resultant hypothyroidism.Less extreme variants of thyroidectomy include:* "hemithyroidectomy" -- removing only half of the thyroid* "isthmectomy" -- removing the band of tissue connecting the two lobes of the thyroid A "thyroidectomy" should not be confused with a "thyroidotomy" , which is a cutting into the thyroid, not a removal of it. A thyroidotomy can be performed to get access for a median laryngotomy, or to perform a biopsy. (From the Wikpedia article Thyroidectomy.)
