Thyroid Gland

The thyroid gland plays an extremely important role in the human body. Disorders in its function and hormone secretion cause serious consequences that often require long and persistent treatment. Successful treatment relies on the cooperation between the patient and the doctor, precise diagnosis (examination by an endocrinologist, endocrine surgeon, laboratory analyses, ultrasonography, fine-needle biopsy), and strict adherence to therapy.

Thyroid Gland Surgeries

Thyroid gland surgeries at Polyclinic Belgrade are performed by Prof. Dr. Aleksandar Diklić, the best Serbian endocrine surgeon who has conducted more than 7,000 patient surgeries. He states:

Ignoring Thyroid Gland Disorders

“Ignoring thyroid gland disorders can lead to permanent and serious dysfunctions in the body. Depending on the established diagnosis, surgery of the thyroid gland is necessary for some patients. Today, this type of surgery is considered routine, but given the sensitivity of the gland, the surgeon’s expertise is crucial.”

Consequences of Neglecting Thyroid Disorders

In cases where the gland is enlarged due to its dysfunction, it can cause pressure on the trachea, leading to breathing difficulties. Additionally, prolonged excessive gland activity in severe cases leads to significant exhaustion, weight loss, and irreversible heart damage. Seven to ten percent of nodular goiter cases can develop into cancer.

How Long Does Thyroid Surgery Take?

Depending on the severity of the condition, surgery takes up to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia.

Quick Recovery Without Complications

After the surgery, the patient stays hospitalized for one day at our polyclinic for monitoring the overall condition and the neck region where the surgery was performed. Upon discharge, the patient can resume their regular daily activities. Initially, it is recommended to avoid strenuous physical activities, fatigue, and stressful situations. Complications are extremely rare and, if they occur, manifest as mild hoarseness. Our polyclinic specialist is available to the patient throughout the recovery process and during regular thyroid gland check-ups later on.

Surgery – A Safe Path to Thyroid Recovery

The results of thyroid surgery are excellent, and previous symptoms and problems disappear.

Thyroid Surgery with Minimal Scars

Thyroid surgery leaves minimal scars in the neck region. Our skilled surgeons pay attention to the aesthetic aspect, making incisions along one of the existing neck lines during the surgery.
