Kauvery Hospital performs scarless, Minimally Invasive Thyroid Surgery on 40-year-old woman

Salem: Kauvery Hospital, Salem, which is part of a leading multi-specialty healthcare chain in Tamil Nadu, performed its first Scarless, Minimally Invasive Thyroid Surgery.

Thyroid diseases are common in women. Common diseases that arise from the thyroid are functional issues like Hyperthyroidism or Hypothyroidism. But Sometimes swelling may arise from the thyroid, which may be single or multiple and cancerous or non-cancerous, and they usually require surgery.

Conventional surgery is done by an open method via an incision in the neck, which leaves a scar on the neck, whereas women would like to have treatment options with definitive cosmetic appeal.

Unlike traditional thyroid surgery, this innovative approach uses small incisions and specialized instruments to access and remove the thyroid gland through the holes in the axilla/chest. With the magnified vision, preserving the vital structures in the neck is very accurate and safe.

This Innovative, Scarless Surgery is the first of its kind at Salem, and offers a very accurate and speedy recovery with minimal post-operative pain.

Speaking on this, Dr Manivannan, Founder & Managing Director, Kauvery Hospital said, "Innovations like Minimally Invasive Thyroid Surgery help us in treating thyroid patients with precision and accuracy, leading to a painless and speedy recovery, and more importantly a scar-free outcome. I would like to appreciate Dr Rajkumar Subramaniam, Surgical Oncologist at Kauvery Hospital, Salem, for adopting advanced and innovative technologies to help restore good health and confidence and make a difference in the lives of patients."
