Abstract :
The thyroid gland is a small butterfly-shaped gland located in front of the neck. It secretes hormones called thyroid hormones that regulate almost every function of the body. Enlargement of the thyroid gland is called goiter, also called “giller” or “ghudood” by the natives. Thyroidectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of the thyroid gland. It is performed for various reasons, such as cosmetic, functional, or oncological. Thyroidectomy is a challenging surgery that poses a major burden to the healthcare system in under-developed areas like Muzaffarabad, Azad Kashmir.
Funding for investigations and procedure should be made available in each healthcare setup to investigate and treat the goiter in time. Proper training of surgeons as well as staff is also required to make thyroidectomy less challenging
