Goiter

LIV Hospital, one of Turkey’s JCI-accredited leading centers, offers world-class diagnosis and treatment for goiter (also spelled goitre), providing rapid and accurate evaluation of goiter symptoms such as visible neck swelling, difficulty swallowing or breathing, hoarseness, palpitations, fatigue, and weight changes with same-day thyroid ultrasound, fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), thyroid function tests (TSH, T3, T4), scintigraphy, and if required CT/MRI imaging; whether the goitre is caused by iodine deficiency, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’ disease, multinodular goiter, or thyroid cancer, our expert endocrinology and head & neck surgery teams create individualized treatment plans ranging from medical management and close follow-up for simple and subclinical cases to nerve-monitored total or partial thyroidectomy, scarless endoscopic thyroid surgery, or minimally invasive radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and ethanol ablation for suitable benign nodules.
