However, the thyroid gland is susceptible to disease. Cases of thyroid disease are studied every year, which is explained by an unbalanced diet, a depressing natural environment, the influence of hereditary factors, and the lack of  effective system for protecting iodine deficiency states. Not all thyroid diseases are subject to conservative therapy. The method of indication is partial or radical removal of the thyroid gland.

Thyroidectomy refers to an operation to remove the thyroid gland. For example, surgery involves removing the lymph nodes in the trachea. Combined surgery makes cancer treatment effective and has a low risk of recurrence.
