Thyroid / Parathyroid Surgery

---

Surgeons at Merit Health Rankin provide surgical care for conditions of the thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands, including thyroid cancer. This care brings together endocrinologists, surgeons, radiologists and pathologists to treat conditions such as:

• Conn’s syndrome
• Grave’s disease
• Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism
• Hyperparathyroidism
• Thyroid cancer
• Adrenal, parathyroid and thyroid tumors

We utilize minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to offer patients less pain and scarring and a quicker recovery. Surgeons perform a range of surgical procedures, including:

• Adrenalectomy (removal of the adrenal gland)
• Parathyroidectomy (removal of the parathyroid)
• Thyroid lobectomy (removal of one lobe of the thyroid)
• Total thyroidectomy (removal of the entire thyroid)
