Dan Fliss
At Sourasky Medical Center, thyroidectomy is carried out by physicians in the Endocrinology Department. Operation takes 2-4 hours, a patient stays under general anesthesia the whole time.
The procedure is low-risk and non-complex. Its success rate is above 95%. In most cases, in-hospital stay and rehabilitation are not required. Majority of patients is dismissed on the day operation is conducted.
Operating surgeon can answer the question how much does thyroid surgery cost. Procedures that treat cancer tend to be more expensive than invasions aimed to treat other pathologies (gland enlargement or hyperthyroidism). This is associated with increased need for medications and additional medical staff involved in the operation.
