Conditions such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, Graves’ disease, and other endocrine conditionscan be treated with endocrine surgery. Our general surgeons in Nashville, Murfreesboro, and surrounding areas offer both traditional and innovative endocrine surgery.
At TSC Rutherford, we offer minimally invasive robotic thyroid and parathyroid surgery. These procedures minimize recovery time by making small incisions and using robotic devices to remove nodules and malfunctioning glands.
Our surgeons at TSC Rutherford also perform cutting-edge transoral thyroid surgery and transoral parathyroid surgery. These procedures are essentially scarless thyroid and parathyroid procedures. They are performed by making a small incision inside of the patient’s mouth and then using a laparoscopic instrument to remove the thyroid, either partially or completely, or the parathyroid glands. A small scar will be left on the inside of the mouth under the bottom lip, but there will be no visible externalscarring on the neck as with traditional thyroid surgery.
