Removes the entire thyroid gland, the butterfly-shaped gland at the base of the neck that makes hormones controlling metabolism, through an incision across the lower neck. It is done for thyroid cancer, a large goiter causing pressure, or an overactive gland that other treatments have not controlled. The nerves to the voice box and the nearby parathyroid glands are identified and protected.
