In Clinica Ricardo Palma we offer you a new alternative, the endoscopic thyroidectomy, minimally invasive surgical technique that removes all or part of the thyroid gland, offering excellent medical and aesthetic results.

We are the pioneer clinic in performing this surgery, aligning ourselves to the highest medical technology in thyroid procedures worldwide.

Dr. Edgar Salas, head and neck surgeon of our clinic and pioneer of minimally invasive surgery in the country, explains the benefits of this innovative intervention:

• The patient recovers faster, and the hospital stay is shorter.
• Less pain is reported compared to an open operation
• As it is performed through a small incision in the posterior area of the lower lip, it does not leave scars on the neck and no keloids are formed.
• Being a minimally invasive surgery, it does not have a higher risk of suffering complications or compromising muscles and surrounding tissues.
• Psychological sequelae are avoided, since for many patients the scar left by conventional surgery represents a permanent reminder of the difficult moment they had to live through.

Thyroid cancer in Peru has increased in recent years. A lump in the anterior part of the neck can be an early sign of cancer, the important thing is early diagnosis to follow the most appropriate treatment.
