Hemithyroidectomy
At ClinicOl, we provide expert care under the guidance of Mr. Ahmad A. Hariri for patients requiring hemithyroidectomy. This procedure involves the removal of half of the thyroid gland, typically recommended for thyroid nodules, goiters, or suspicion of thyroid cancer. The thyroid gland is vital for regulating important body functions, and this surgery helps address specific thyroid-related issues.
