• Biochemical Blood Analysis: This checks for general markers of health and thyroid function.

• Fine-Needle Aspiration (FNA) Biopsy: A minimally invasive procedure to take a tissue sample for analysis.
• CT Scan: Provides detailed cross-sectional images for complex cases.

Treatment for Diffuse Toxic Goiter

The primary treatment offered is thyroidectomy, the surgical removal of the thyroid gland. This is indicated when medication is not effective or suitable. The clinic uses a minimally invasive technique.

This approach aims to preserve the vocal nerves and parathyroid glands. It contributes to a faster recovery for patients. The surgery is supported by a multidisciplinary team. This team includes endocrinologists, pathomorphologists, and anesthesiologists.

Thyroidectomy Package

The all-inclusive surgical package covers:

• The main surgical intervention using advanced technologies.
• Professional anesthesia services.
• A complete histology examination of the removed tissue.
• A 2 to 3-day hospital stay for post-operative care.

Please note the package does not cover pre-operative consultations, diagnostics, flights, or accommodation. These are arranged separately. The JCI-accredited clinic has over 30 years of experience and uses state-of-the-art equipment, including the da Vinci robotic system.
