Cost of Diagnosis Tests Required for Thyroidectomy Treatment

Just like all other surgical procedures, before undergoing a thyroidectomy, several diagnostic tests are needed to be performed to ensure the patient is fit for surgery and to accurately assess the condition of the thyroid gland. These are:

  • Thyroid Function Test (TFT): 
  • Blood Tests (T3, T4, and TSH):
  • Ultrasound:
  • Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) Biopsy: 
  • CT Scan or MRI: 
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG):

Factors Adding Up to Make the Cost Higher

Every patient is unique and so the approach to the treatment will also differ. Based on this on a broad level several factors that can drive up the cost of Thyroidectomy surgery are:

  • Complexity of the Surgery: Total thyroidectomy (removal of the entire thyroid gland) will cost more than a partial thyroidectomy. 
  • Possibility of Malignancy: Surgeries involving the removal of cancerous tissues may require more advanced procedures and increase the cost.
  • Surgeon’s Expertise: Surgeons with higher experience and specialization in thyroid surgeries may charge higher fees.
  • Hospital Facilities: Advanced surgical techniques like robotic-assisted thyroidectomy will have higher costs than conventional surgical procedures.
  • Post-Surgery Complications: If complications like hypocalcemia (low calcium levels) or voice changes happen, additional treatments or longer hospital stays may be needed.
  • Post-Surgical Hormone Therapy: If the entire thyroid gland is removed, lifelong hormone replacement therapy (thyroxine) will be needed.

By understanding the components that influence the cost and the necessary procedures involved, patients can make informed decisions regarding thyroidectomy at the CK Birla Hospital .

The thyroid gland is removed when there are issues such as thyroid cancer, large thyroid nodules, goiters, or hyperthyroidism that do not respond to other treatments. 

Why is thyroidectomy done?

  • hyperthyroidism, 
  • large goiters causing difficulty in swallowing or breathing,
  • nodules that are suspicious for malignancy or cancer.

Can thyroid cancer be cured permanently?

Yes, thyroid cancer, especially papillary and follicular types, can often be cured with surgery (thyroidectomy) followed by radioactive iodine therapy in some cases. 

Each patient will be different, however, regular follow-ups are essential to ensure there is no recurrence.

When is the thyroid gland removed?

The thyroid gland is removed when there is a medical need such as cancer, a significantly enlarged thyroid causing discomfort, or when the thyroid is overactive and not responding to other treatments.
