Advanced Techniques Remove Thyroid Tumors Without Visible Neck Scars
Surgeons at OLOL are among the first in the state to use new technology and procedures to remove thyroid tumors without leaving a visible scar on the neck. The procedure requires specialized training for the surgeon, and is only offered at a small number of facilities in the country and only one other hospital in the state. With a traditional surgical method, patients have a scar right over the throat in the front of the neck. With the robotic approach, the incision is made under the arm so there is no visible scar. Additional benefits include less pain in the neck area and a faster recovery. Learn more about this surgery and the doctors who are trained to perform it.
