Thyroid

The thyroid gland is located at the front of neck and controls the body’s metabolism by producing and releasing thyroid hormone. The most common reasons for operating on the thyroid gland are related to symptoms of compression due to enlargement of the gland (goiter), for diagnosis of a thyroid nodule, thyroid cancer, or an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) that cannot be treated with medicine.
