Breast and Thyroid Surgery

Breast and thyroid surgery are specialized areas within general surgery dedicated to addressing conditions affecting the breast and thyroid gland. Breast surgery focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of various breast issues, including benign tumors, breast cancer, and reconstructive needs following mastectomy. Procedures such as lumpectomy and mastectomy are performed to remove tumors or affected breast tissue, while breast reconstruction aims to restore appearance and function. Thyroid surgery, on the other hand, deals with disorders of the thyroid gland, such as thyroid nodules, cancer, and hyperthyroidism. Surgeons may perform total or partial thyroidectomy to remove cancerous or problematic tissue, ensuring the management of hormone levels and alleviating symptoms. Both fields involve a multidisciplinary approach, often working closely with oncologists, endocrinologists, and radiologists to provide comprehensive care tailored to each patient's needs, ensuring effective treatment and optimal recovery.
