Thyroid and parathyroid conditions, specifically thyroidectomies and complex thyroid cases involving tracheal resection, potentially performed by Dr. Kranthi.
• The thyroid gland is butterfly-shaped, located in the lower neck, and produces hormones regulating metabolism.
• Parathyroid glands (usually four) are tiny glands behind the thyroid, controlling calcium levels in the body.
A thyroidectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of the thyroid gland. There are different types depending on the extent of removal:
• Total Thyroidectomy: Entire thyroid gland is removed.
• Hemi Thyroidectomy: Only part of the thyroid is removed.
Reasons for Thyroidectomy:
• Thyroid cancer
• Thyroid nodules (growths)
• Graves' disease (hyperthyroidism)
• Hashimoto's thyroiditis (hypothyroidism)
Complex Thyroid with Tracheal Resection:
In some cases, thyroid tumors can grow large enough to involve the trachea (windpipe). This might necessitate a complex surgery combining thyroidectomy with tracheal resection.
• Tracheal Resection: Removal of a portion of the trachea.
• Reconstruction: The remaining healthy ends of the trachea might be reconnected directly or using a graft.
Minimally invasive robotic thyroid surgery is a type of surgery that uses robotic technology to remove the thyroid gland through small incisions. It offers many of the same benefits as other minimally invasive thyroid surgeries, such as smaller scars, less pain, and a quicker recovery time.
Benefits: There are several potential benefits to minimally invasive robotic thyroid surgery, including:
• Smaller scars
• Less pain
• Shorter hospital stay
• Quicker recovery time
• Improved cosmesis
• Improved precision and dexterity during surgery
Dr. Kranthi’s priority is complete tumor removal while safeguarding nearby structures like nerves and glands. Dr. Kranthi uses minimally invasive surgical techniques for thyroidectomy. These offer potential benefits like less scarring and faster recovery. Dr. Kramthi uses Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) during thyroid and parathyroid surgery to identify and preserve the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). The RLN is a critical nerve that controls the muscles of the larynx, or voice box, and damage to this nerve can result in hoarseness, breathiness, or even complete loss of voice. The team provide compassionate, patient-centered care, ensuring optimal outcomes and patient safety throughout the treatment process.
