Introduction: Advancing Thyroid Surgery in Nepal
Thyroid disorders are increasingly common, affecting millions worldwide, including many in Nepal. Traditional thyroid surgeries often leave visible scars on the neck, causing cosmetic concerns for patients. However, medical advancements now offer Transaxillary Thyroidectomy a scarless, minimally invasive thyroid surgery that ensures both health and aesthetics.
Dr. Prabhat Chandra Thakur, a leading thyroid specialist, is the only doctor performing Transaxillary Thyroidectomy in Nepal. His expertise has brought world-class thyroid care to the country, making him the go-to surgeon for patients looking for a safe, effective, and aesthetically superior thyroid surgery.
What is Transaxillary Thyroidectomy?
Transaxillary Thyroidectomy is an advanced, minimally invasive surgical technique where the thyroid gland is removed through a small incision in the armpit (axilla), completely avoiding the neck. This approach ensures that no visible scars appear on the front of the neck, making it an excellent choice for individuals concerned about post-surgical marks.
Key Features of Transaxillary Thyroidectomy:
✅ Scarless Surgery: The incision is hidden under the armpit, making it an ideal option for patients who do not want visible scars.
✅ Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions mean less tissue damage, less pain, and faster recovery.
✅ Lower Risk of Nerve Damage: The surgical approach avoids direct contact with the vocal cord nerves, reducing complications.
✅ Best for Cosmetic Concerns: Particularly beneficial for women and professionals who want to avoid visible surgical marks.
Why Traditional Thyroid Surgery is Not Always the Best Option
Traditional open thyroid surgery requires a large incision on the front of the neck, often leaving a permanent, visible scar. This not only affects a patient’s confidence and appearance but also increases the risk of postoperative pain and complications.
