@AmyYChenMD1 Agree w Dr. Chen -RAI decision depends on the persons risk of recurrence and is best made by endocrinologists and a multidisciplinary discussion.

@harleysmom2015 @ThyCaInc Hi Karen this means - for our discussion- the nerve to the vocal cord was altered in the thyroid surgery and the movement of the vocal cord becomes limited w voice and swallowing changes. #thyroid #thyroidcancer #thyroidectomy #AHNSchat

Studies show that early vocal cord Rx w injection medialization may reduce the need for a bigger vocal cord medialization procedure so good to examine the larynx and make the Dx. #AHNSchat

@ThyCaInc @allenhomd Skin nerve fibers generally grow back so the intial numbness get better but there can be changes in neck skin sensation. 12 years out - great !!

@AHNSEndo A1 Some of my patient can sometimes have minor neck discomfort from surgical positioning --generally transient. #thyroid #thyroidcancer #thyroidectomy #AHNSchat

A1. One small but common issue is that pts don't expect as much of a sore throat - it lasts only 1-2 days, but they are less expecting it. They are more prepped for the more publicized risks of hoarseness, hypoparathyroidism, etc. #AHNSchat

#AHNSchat A4. I usually defer the decision re: total or hemithyroidectomy to my brilliant surgery colleagues, although the movement towards more conservative treatment in appropriate low-risk patients has a strong evidence base.
