Endoscopic / Robotic Thyroid Surgery

Endoscopic & Robotic Thyroid Surgery in Bangalore

The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ located in the neck. It produces thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism and calcium, which are important to the human body. Various factors including genetics, lifestyle (smoking, alcohol, obesity, stress, etc.), and medical conditions can affect thyroid hormone production – Hypothyroidism (insufficient production of thyroid hormones) and Hyperthyroidism (excessive production of thyroid hormones).

Thyroidectomy is a common surgery that treats various benign and malignant thyroid conditions. At Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, we perform minimally invasive endoscopic/robotic thyroidectomy with the use of an endoscope as well as a robot. Unlike traditional thyroidectomy, which requires a larger incision, this advanced approach utilizes robotic or endoscopic technology to access the thyroid gland through smaller, strategically placed incisions, resulting in minimal scarring and a faster recovery. This leaves a hidden scar either behind the ear inside the hairline or in the axilla and breast. 

When Do You Need an Endoscopic/Robotic Thyroidectomy?

Endoscopic/robotic thyroid surgery is performed for various thyroid conditions, including:

  • Solitary Nodule Thyroid - Single abnormal growth in the thyroid gland

  • Multinodular Goitre - Multiple nodules within the thyroid gland

  • Goitre - Diffuse swelling (enlargement) of the thyroid gland

  • Adenomatous Goitre - Noncancerous enlargement of the thyroid gland

  • Thyroid Colloid Cyst - Non-malignant fluid-filled sac within the thyroid gland

Endoscopic / Robotic Thyroid Surgery begins with a detailed evaluation that involves blood tests, ultrasound imaging, and fine-needle aspiration biopsies. All of these can assess your thyroid’s condition. During surgery, our best ENT and head and neck surgeon in Bangalore creates small incisions, often in the underarm or chest area, to insert an endoscope and specialized instruments. The endoscope is used to receive a magnified view of the surgical site. Hence, they can precisely remove the affected portion of your thyroid gland. This does not impact the surrounding structures, such as the vocal cords and parathyroid glands. This meticulous approach makes the procedure effective and safe. Post-surgical recovery is typically quick. Most of our patients return to normal activities within a week. Follow-up care usually includes monitoring thyroid hormone levels. If necessary, our doctor may recommend hormone replacement therapy to ensure optimal long-term health.
