Safeguarding Functional Outcomes

One of the most concerning risks of thyroid surgery is a potential change in voice due to injury of the **recurrent laryngeal nerve**. In parotid surgery, the primary risk is injury to the **facial nerve**, which could lead to facial paralysis. We use **Intra-operative Nerve Monitoring (IONM)** at Indira Hospital to mitigate these risks. This technology provides the surgeon with real-time electrical feedback, allowing them to identify and protect these microscopic nerves with absolute certainty.

Diagnostic Precision:

• **FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration)**: Safe, early diagnostic step to determine if a swelling is benign or suspicious.
• **High-Resolution Ultrasonography (USG)**: Real-time mapping of the tumor’s vascularity and relationship to major vessels.
• **Frozen Section Biopsy**: On-table, rapid biopsy during surgery to determine the extent of surgical resection needed.
