43-year-old woman with thyroid disease was advised by her doctor to do this regularly

GĐXH - People with thyroid disease should have regular check-ups to monitor the growth rate of the tumor for timely intervention.

According to information from the Oncology Department of Xuyen A General Hospital, recently doctors here performed endoscopic thyroid surgery through the armpit - chest for Ms. T.T.B.T (43 years old, living in Tay Ninh ).

Ms. T. discovered that she had a goiter more than 10 years ago, but in the last 4 years, the goiter has grown larger, a large lump can be felt, causing discomfort and a feeling of choking. The patient went for a check-up and had a FNA (fine needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid gland) with a diagnosis of goiter, with a 3cm right lobe goiter.

After finding out the information, the patient decided to choose Xuyen A General Hospital for surgery. Here, after examination as well as based on the results of the paraclinical tests, the doctors advised Ms. T. and agreed to choose the method of endoscopic surgery to remove thyroid goiter through the armpit - chest.

During the surgery, the team endoscopically removed almost the entire right lobe of the thyroid gland containing the nodule and the isthmus to provide optimal treatment for the patient, while preventing the thyroid tumor from growing large and causing compression, making it difficult for the patient to breathe and swallow. In particular, the endoscopic surgery method through the armpit - chest helped the patient avoid the neck incision, which affects aesthetics, with a quick recovery time, minimally invasive, and still ensuring complete tumor removal.

According to Dr. Nguyen Quoc Huy - Oncology Department of the hospital, goiter is a common disease in Vietnamese women today. For patients, when they discover a goiter, they should have regular check-ups to monitor the growth rate of the goiter to avoid the goiter pressing down, causing difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, affecting the quality of life. Moreover, when the goiter is too large, surgery will become more difficult.

Currently, endoscopic thyroid surgery through the armpit - chest is being routinely performed at the Oncology Department of Xuyen A General Hospital, successfully treating dozens of cases, bringing many benefits to patients and helping women feel more confident after surgery.
