Initial Consultation Your journey begins with a thorough in-person consultation at Suren’s rooms. This includes: Detailed review of your medical history and symptoms Focused neck examination, including assessment of the thyroid and lymph nodes Review of any previous blood tests or scans Discussion of any concerns you may have If necessary, a neck ultrasound is performed during the appointment. If a thyroid nodule requires further evaluation, Suren may perform a fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy on the spot, using ultrasound guidance—saving time and avoiding the need for a separate imaging referral. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5463616be4b0efbe943777f4/18938a29-f08a-44a5-bbf8-1867b1082e25/thyroid+surgeon+scan.jpg Your Patient Journey - 2. Investigations and Planning Following your initial consultation, Suren will organise any further tests needed to form a precise diagnosis and surgical plan. This may include: Blood tests (thyroid function, calcium, parathyroid hormone) Ultrasound reports or CT scans Nuclear medicine scans (for parathyroid or nodule localisation) Molecular testing (if biopsy results are indeterminate) You’ll receive a clear explanation of all results and treatment options, with the opportunity to ask questions before proceeding to surgery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5463616be4b0efbe943777f4/f4a1effc-4290-4dfd-be31-6d02d99bd794/thyroid+surgeon+operating+theatre.jpg Your Patient Journey - 3. Surgery If surgery is recommended, it will be tailored to your specific condition and anatomy. Suren performs: Hemithyroidectomy or total thyroidectomy Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy Scarless transoral thyroid surgery (TOETVA) Neck dissection if needed for thyroid cancer Excision of thyroglossal duct cysts The procedure will be performed at one of Suren’s public or private hospital affiliations. You will receive full pre-op instructions and have access to your surgical care team for any queries. Please see Thyroid Operations for more detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5463616be4b0efbe943777f4/c6614ea2-8dab-45d4-9044-e4dffd4f3b3f/unsplash-image-w_qTfiPbjbg.jpg Your Patient Journey - 4. Post-Operative Recovery Most patients recover quickly and go home the same day or after one night in hospital. What to expect: Mild neck discomfort and swelling for a few days A follow-up appointment typically 7–10 days post-op Instructions on wound care, medications, and when to resume activity If needed, a prescription for thyroid hormone replacement Ongoing monitoring of thyroid levels or calcium post-surgery Suren and his team remain available throughout your recovery to ensure you’re supported and healing well. He works closely with some of Melbourne’s leading endocrinologists to ensure the best possible ongoing care. http://www.surenjayaweera.com/thyroid-surgery-risks-1 daily 0.75 2025-08-21
