Thyroid & Parathyroid Surgery

Thyroid disorders are extremely common in the U.S., with over 20 million people undergoing treatment. Women are especially vulnerable, as thyroid disease is up to eight times more common in women than in men.

Parathyroid disorders are generally less common, occurring twice as often in women then in men. Because these disorders tend to have multiple symptoms, may involve ongoing medical consultations, and sometimes require specialized surgery.

ENTRUST ‘s Center for Thyroid and Parathyroid surgery offers patients a comprehensive approach to treating disorders of the thyroid and parathyroid.

Treatment approaches include:

• Fine needle biopsy – extracting of fluid or tissue from a cyst or solid mass
  
• biopsy or lumpectomy - removing a small part of the thyroid gland
  
• lobectomy - removing half of the thyroid gland
  
• total thyroidectomy - which removes all identifiable thyroid tissue
  
• Minimally invasive thyroid and parathyroid surgery
