Thyroid Surgery at Chahal Hospital Bathinda
Thyroid surgery (thyroidectomy) is recommended for: thyroid nodules that are suspicious or proven malignant, large goitres causing swallowing or breathing difficulty, hyperthyroidism not responding to medical treatment (Graves disease), and multi-nodular goitre. Dr. J.S. Chahal at Chahal Hospital performs thyroid surgery with careful attention to preserving the recurrent laryngeal nerves (to protect voice) and parathyroid glands (to maintain calcium levels).
Depending on the indication, Dr. J.S. Chahal performs hemithyroidectomy (removal of one lobe — for unilateral nodule or low-risk cancer) or total thyroidectomy (complete thyroid removal — for bilateral disease or thyroid cancer). The cosmetically placed transverse neck incision heals well and is often barely visible after a few months.

FAQ — Thyroid Surgery
Thyroid surgery is recommended for: thyroid cancer (proven or highly suspicious), large thyroid nodules with compressive symptoms (difficulty swallowing, breathing, hoarseness), Graves disease not controlled with medications, and very large multi-nodular goitres. Dr. J.S. Chahal at Chahal Hospital evaluates each patient individually and recommends surgery only when medically indicated.
After total thyroidectomy (complete removal), yes — lifelong levothyroxine (thyroxine) tablet is required to replace the lost thyroid hormone. After hemithyroidectomy (one lobe removed), many patients maintain adequate thyroid function without supplementation, though some require thyroxine. Regular thyroid function tests guide the dosage. Dr. J.S. Chahal provides complete endocrine guidance post-thyroidectomy.
The recurrent laryngeal nerve — which controls the voice — runs close to the thyroid. Temporary voice changes after thyroid surgery occur in 3-5% of cases but usually resolve within weeks. Permanent voice change is rare (<1%) with experienced thyroid surgeons. Dr. J.S. Chahal's meticulous nerve identification technique minimizes this risk at Chahal Hospital.
