While the work of the thyroid gland negatively affects many systems in the body, successful results can be obtained with the modern methods developed in recent years. Memorial Etiler Professor of General Surgery, Medical Center. Dr. Gürsel Soybir, thyroid disease and the surgical methods used in the treatment.
The thyroid gland produces the thyroid hormones called T3- T4 and iodine uptake by the food. In order for a person to be healthy, thyroid hormones need to be secreted continuously and in sufficient quantity. The secretion in a small amount causes the slowing of the body functions and the secretion in the excessive amount causes the acceleration of the body functions.
Thyroid diseases can prevent pregnancy
Women who want to have children pregnancy it is absolutely necessary to evaluate the thyroid functions. Women who have few thyroid glands experience difficulty in becoming pregnant, and are less likely to become pregnant if they become pregnant. The lack of thyroid hormone also negatively affects the intelligence and physical development of the baby in the mother's womb. With women who return to normal with thyroid function, the risks are rising.
The thyroid gland itself is called hyperthyroidism because it produces thyroid hormones that are more continuous and more than body needs. Hyperthyroidism, which is relatively common during menopause, increases the risk of bone loss, which is already increasing in this period. If hyperthyroidism is not treated in pregnancy, hypertension, known as preeclampsia, increases the risk of pregnancy poisoning, developmental retardation in the baby, premature birth, and loss in the mother's womb.
Treatment modalities vary according to illness
Drugs and radioactive iodine treatment are applied to some of the disorders caused by the thyroid gland. Good and malignant diseases of the thyroid are treated surgically. It is also very important to determine the patient's complaints as well as the family story for the accurate diagnosis of the disorders caused by the thyroid gland. Ultrasonography and scintigraphy, on the other hand, are extremely safe methods used to establish definite diagnosis.
If the nodule is necessary for surgical intervention
Patients with nodules in the thyroid gland should definitely be directed to a surgeon. If cancer is detected in the biopsy performed, or if cancer is suspected, surgical procedure should be applied. Even if this does not pose a risk of half-cancer, the nodule or thyroid gland will grow too large and press on the surrounding organs ache , swallowing difficulty, etc., surgical treatment is an important treatment option. In some types of cancer, it is predicted that the entire thyroid gland will be removed or taken close to the thyroid gland. In addition to thyroid tissue removed in large tumors or worse-grade cancer types, lymph nodes in the neck need to be removed as well. Removal of the entire thyroid gland in patients with large numbers of benign thyroid nodules or large goitre is an effective method. In patients with normal unilateral nodule other thyroid lobe, taking half of the thyroid tissue is sufficient.
Discharged in a day
Surgical operation is performed with a small incision made from the lower back. The muscles in the middle part of the neck are separated and the thyroid is reached. Patients usually get upright from 3-4 hours after surgery and can be fed normally. Patients who are discharged within 1 day after surgery can return to work without problems within 4-5 days.
