17-year-old girl's neck is swollen like an egg! This operation solved the "thyroid nodule" without leaving a scar.

Doctors said that most thyroid nodules are benign, and if there is a family history, early screening should be carried out. If thyroid disease is diagnosed, it is necessary to actively treat it, which is more optimistic about disease control.

A girl of 17 years old in Taichung was diagnosed with thyroid nodules when she was in junior high school. Because she is still young and worried about leaving scars or sequelae after the operation, she did not receive treatment. Unexpectedly, a few years later, thyroid nodules were as big as eggs, which affected her appearance and life. She loves beauty and soon went to see a doctor again. At the suggestion of Dr. Gao, the chief surgeon of Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital, we adopted an improved oral thyroid surgery to remove nodules. After the operation, not only did not leave scars, but also recovered quickly. Finally, the girl bid farewell to her big neck and regained her confidence and beauty.

Benign thyroid nodules have a good prognosis if treated early.

Dr. Gao said that most thyroid nodules are benign, and only about 5% are malignant tumors. In recent years, due to the continuous improvement of China people's health awareness and the popularity of ultrasound examination, the diagnostic rate of thyroid tumors has also increased. If you have a family history, you should be screened as early as possible to understand your health. If you are diagnosed with thyroid disease, you should actively treat it and be more optimistic about disease control.

Aimeixin chose an improved oral thyroidectomy to improve the appearance and reduce the risk.

However, surgery is the main treatment for thyroid tumors, and most benign thyroid nodules do not need to be removed by surgery. However, if the tumor is too large to press the tissue or organ, affecting the appearance, or if there are cancer cells in the tumor, it needs to be removed by surgery.

Dr. Gao Guoyao pointed out that with the progress of medicine and the continuous innovation of minimally invasive technology, oral thyroid surgery is a new choice for patients who love beauty, which is different from traditional thyroidectomy. This surgical incision is the inner lower lip, so it won't leave a scar on the neck.

In addition, in the past, traditional surgery was easy to wrinkle the neck wound of patients, and the scar fluctuated with swallowing action, causing discomfort, which was greatly reduced in patients undergoing oral thyroid surgery.

Surgeons are most worried about wound infection. By strengthening oral hygiene and cleaning before operation, using preventive antibiotics and selecting appropriate laparoscopic cannula to block saliva from entering the surgical incision, the incidence of infection has been greatly reduced.

As for what is an "improved" oral thyroid surgery, Dr. Gao Guoyao further explained that the operation is still under general anesthesia, but the way to insert the breathing tube is to anesthetize from the oral cavity instead of the nasal cavity, which greatly improves the postoperative comfort of patients; In addition, the outward movement of the surgical incision position can also greatly avoid the risk of mental nerve injury and paralysis.

Intraoperative nerve monitoring is more reassuring for patients.

Dr. Gao Guoyao emphasized that whether it is traditional thyroid surgery or oral thyroid surgery, patients are most worried about hoarseness caused by recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. Therefore, it is suggested that patients should be equipped with a nerve monitor during the operation, locate the recurrent laryngeal nerve immediately during the operation, clearly monitor the location of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, and judge the nerve and blood vessels, so as to confirm the functionality of the nerve, avoid the injury of the recurrent laryngeal nerve and affect the vocal cord function, and make patients feel more at ease during the treatment.

Pay attention to your daily diet because of your physical heredity.

Thyroid nodules are common in women in their twenties and fifties, and most of them are related to constitution and family. Dr. Gao reminded women to avoid eating foods with high iodine content, such as seaweed and kelp. He appealed that even if thyroid nodules are found, there is no need to worry too much. Thyroid nodules do not necessarily induce cancer. Early detection and early treatment are the best ways to fight diseases.
