The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped endocrine gland located in the lower part of the middle of the neck. It is responsible for producing thyroid hormones. serves to burn energy They are generally divided into right and left glands and are joined in the middle in front of the trachea. serves to produce thyroid hormones which is an important hormone that helps to regulate energy metabolism in the body The body will be able to produce hormones by ordering from the brain. The brain secretes hormones to control the thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormones properly. Including the body must have a precursor to produce thyroid hormones, iodine, in sufficient amounts to function normally.

It also shortens the surgery time and makes the patient less painful and recovers faster. And in surgery on the thyroid gland, it will be done only when there are indications, that is, the mass is so large that it presses on the nearby organs such as the esophagus and trachea. causes difficulty swallowing or shortness of breath, a lump that looks suspected to be cancerous and the lump that the patient needs to have surgery for various reasons such as beauty, etc. Surgery has a significant risk, although the chances are low, such as hoarseness from injury to the nerves that feed the vocal cords. which is located under the thyroid gland However, patients should inquire about risks before undergoing surgery with the surgeon individually.
