👉 Thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure that removes one or both of the thyroid lobes, which are located in the center of the neck. Thyrotoxicosis, also known as thyroiditis, is characterized by inflammation and swelling of the thyroid gland, often leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss, and palpitations. In some cases, thyroidectomy can be done to treat these symptoms or to prevent them from occurring in the future.
