At Bariatric Surgery Malaysia, we specialize in thyroid surgery (thyroidectomy) — a procedure used to treat conditions like thyroid nodules, goiter, and thyroid cancer. Our board-certified endocrine surgeons use advanced, minimally invasive techniques to ensure safety, accuracy, and a fast recovery.
Thyroid surgery involves the partial or complete removal of the thyroid gland, located at the front of the neck. It is most commonly performed to treat:
Thyroid nodules (benign or suspicious)
Goiter (enlarged thyroid causing compression)
Thyroid cancer
Hyperthyroidism or Graves’ disease
Persistent or recurrent thyroid cysts
Removal of the entire thyroid gland. Often done for cancer or severe goiter.
Removal of one lobe of the thyroid. Ideal for unilateral nodules or small tumors.
Smaller incision, less scarring, and quicker recovery using modern surgical tools and techniques.
Thyroid surgery is typically advised if you have:
A suspicious or cancerous thyroid nodule
A goiter that causes difficulty breathing or swallowing
Hyperthyroidism unresponsive to medication
Cosmetic or structural concerns due to thyroid swelling
Confirmed thyroid malignancy via biopsy
1. Consultation & Diagnosis
Ultrasound or thyroid scan
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy
Hormonal blood tests
2. Surgery Day
General anesthesia
1–2 hours operating time
Performed by a thyroid-focused surgeon
3. Aftercare & Recovery
Same or next-day discharge
Mild neck discomfort for a few days
Return to normal activity within 1–2 weeks
Lifelong thyroid hormone replacement (if full thyroid is removed)
While thyroid surgery is safe in experienced hands, potential complications include:
Temporary or permanent hoarseness (nerve injury)
Low calcium levels (parathyroid gland effect)
Bleeding or infection
Need for thyroid hormone replacement
