A while back under another username I asked you this question regards thyroidectomy. You answered .. If you had a thyroidectomy, then you stand the same chance of getting an underactive thyroid later in life as if you had not had a previous thyroid op. http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Body-and-Soul/Health-and-Fitness/Question811933.html

I rely on 'me' shaney. I was just interested to read his view of thyroidectomy & the 'chances' of success & failure depending on the expertise of the surgeon at the time x

Obviously as in your mums case where there's obstruction, thyroidectomy is inevitable.
Elina........(sqad hangs his head in shame).....I may have mislead you..........I wandered onto the internet which i very rarely do.

I lead you to believe that hypothyroidism following partial thyroidectomy was unusual.....well look at this study from Holland.

http://www.hindawi.com/journals/tswj/2012/548796/

83% of patients need to go on thyroxine following surgery for hyperthyroidism....and that has surprised sqad.

Will you ever forgive me?
LOL...I deserve it.....:-(
