Thyroid, Parathyroid Surgery

Thyroidectomy
An incision (cut) is made in the front of and at the base of the neck and part or all of the thyroid gland is removed.

Thyroid ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration
I am able to perform same day ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration if clinically needed. Not all patients are suitable for this, but I have been trained to do this on site in my clinic for thyroid nodules.

Parathyroidectomy
An incision (cut) is made in the front of and at the base of the neck and one or more of the parathyroid glands are removed. Parathyroid treatment has come a long way in the last few years and after spending 12 months in Calgary, Canada working with one of the leaders in parathyroid disease, I can offer this same expert, safe and effective surgical treatment for parathyroid diseases. Often this surgery can be performed through a small 2-3cm neck incision (minimally invasive parathyroidectomy) and requires usually only one night in hospital.
