What to Expect
Here's what happens during your visit, so you can come prepared and feel at ease.
Your thyroid evaluation includes a physical examination, thyroid ultrasound, and laboratory testing. If a nodule is identified, fine-needle aspiration biopsy is performed to determine if surgery is needed. For hyperparathyroidism, we localize the abnormal gland using sestamibi scan and/or ultrasound. Surgery is performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting 1-3 hours. Intraoperative nerve monitoring protects your vocal cords, and IOPTH testing confirms cure in parathyroid surgery. Most patients go home the same day or next morning. We monitor calcium levels, adjust thyroid hormone replacement as needed, and schedule long-term surveillance.
When to See a Doctor
Seek evaluation if you have a thyroid nodule detected on imaging, a visible or palpable neck mass, difficulty swallowing from an enlarged thyroid, elevated calcium levels suggesting hyperparathyroidism, or a family history of thyroid cancer. Our thyroid specialists in Massachusetts provide expert surgical care with an emphasis on preserving voice quality and minimizing scarring.
