| After a thyroidectomy the thyroid produces insufficient hormone levels and the person becomes hypothyroid. |
| Treatment prognosis is mixed with thyroidectomy usually recommended with subsequent lifelong obligatory thyroid replacement therapy. |
| Subcutaneous carbon dioxide insufflation does not cause hypercarbia during endoscopic thyroidectomy. |
| Between July 2001 and July 2002, 60 patients undergoing thyroidectomy at a hospital in Mexico were randomly assigned to one of two groups. |
| The removal of the thyroid by thyroidectomy is rarely performed, except in the case of patients with a large goitre. |
| The patient received palliative radiation to the neck and systemic chemotherapy, but she died of widely metastatic disease approximately 2 years after the thyroidectomy. |
