The thyroid and parathyroids can become diseased and might need to be surgically removed. Traditional thyroidectomies and parathyroidectomies leave a visible scar in the middle of the neck. But, advancements in endocrine surgery in the modern world allow surgeons to perform scarless alternatives to such procedure. In a scarless thyroidectomy, or scarless parathyroidectomy, the surgeon accesses the gland of concern through the patient’s mouth (called a “transoral” approach.) Incisions are allowed on the inside of the lower lip to allow surgical ports and the glands are accessed from these ports. Once healed, the patient will have very small and quite invisible scars inside the mouth.
Dr Rajeev Sharan offers you excellent access to advanced solutions such as scarless surgeries.
