Thyroid gland removal is surgery to remove all or part of the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is part of the endocrine system and plays a major role in regulating the body’s metabolism. There are two types of thyroid removal surgery: • Total thyroidectomy – a procedure that removes the entire gland. • Subtotal or partial thyroidectomy – a procedure that removes part of the thyroid gland.
