For the best outcomes, thyroid surgery in children and adolescents should be done by experienced surgeons who perform at least 30 thyroid procedures per year, like the surgeons at the Pediatric Thyroid Center at CHOP.
Children with Graves' disease whose condition can't be controlled well medically, may require a total removal of the thyroid gland. Dr. Adzick and Dr. Bauer discuss the multidisciplinary approach to performing a total thyroidectomy — a complex operation, during which other delicate structures, such as the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the parathyroid glands, must be protected from damage during the surgery.
