Thyroid Removal (Total/Partial)

Thyroid removal, or thyroidectomy, is a surgical procedure aimed at treating various thyroid conditions by partially or completely removing the thyroid gland. Whether you’re facing thyroid cancer, an overactive thyroid, or a benign thyroid enlargement causing discomfort, our dedicated endocrine surgery team is here to support you with expertise and compassion.

Also known as: total thyroidectomy, partial thyroidectomy

What is Thyroid Removal?

The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating your body’s metabolism through the production of thyroid hormones. Conditions affecting the thyroid may necessitate the removal of all or part of this gland to restore health and well-being.

Indications for thyroid removal include thyroid cancer, symptomatic goitres (enlarged thyroid), overactive thyroid glands not responsive to other treatments, and suspicious nodules. Our approach at St John & Elizabeth Hospital prioritises your health and peace of mind. We understand the concerns and questions that come with the need for thyroid surgery. That’s why our team of experts is committed to providing clear, empathetic guidance and care throughout your journey with us.

From your initial consultation to post-operative care, we ensure a supportive, informative process tailored to your specific condition and needs. Our goal is to achieve the best possible outcomes for you, focusing on minimising complications and promoting a swift recovery.  At St John & Elizabeth Hospital, you’re in the hands of specialists who genuinely care about your health and recovery.

How to pay for your treatment

If you’re… paying for yourself

Did you know you don’t need private medical insurance to come to St John & St Elizabeth Hospital? As a self-pay patient, you can access safe, outstanding quality health care at times to suit you.

For scans and tests, as well as to see most consultants, you’ll still need to be referred by a medical professional like your GP, but as a self-pay patient, the process is more straightforward. You won’t need authorisation from an insurance provider, and you’ll have greater choice of consultant and appointment times.

If you’re… insured

St John & St Elizabeth Hospital is approved by all major medical insurance companies. If you have a personal private health insurance policy, or your company provide it for you, you can use it to pay for your care from your initial consultation through to treatment, surgery and aftercare such as physiotherapy. Not all private health insurance plans cover the same things. It’s very important to check exactly what you are covered for with your insurance provider.
