Thyroidectomy is a common surgicalprocedure that has several potential complications or sequelae including: temporary or permanent change in voice, temporary or permanently low calcium, need for lifelong thyroid hormone replacement, bleeding, infection[en.wikipedia.org]
As with any surgicalprocedure, there are risks involved. There is a risk of bleeding, but this is very low. The average blood loss is less than an ounce. The risk of infection is so low that antibiotics are not routinely used.[hopkinsmedicine.org]
This could help the surgicalprocedures done on the patient and can assess things like the patency of the trachea, the integrity of the esophagus and the structure of the thyroid gland.[autoaccident.com]
Minimally Invasive Parathyroid Surgery If the offending parathyroid has been localized with imaging prior to surgery a limited surgicalprocedure is often appropriate.[kumc.edu]
It often presents as a rapidly expanding neckmass with swallowing and breathing difficulties. Direct invasion of the voice box, trachea and esophagus is common. These cancers are often too large and invasive to be removed surgically.[kumc.edu]

Thyroiditis is an inflammation of the thyroid gland that has several etiologies and can be associated with normal, elevated, or depressed thyroid function, often with evolution from one condition to another.[aafp.org]
Regardless of the etiology, the management is unchanged. If uncertainty remains 6 months after surgery, PTH levels may be checked evaluate recovery of parathyroid gland function.[emedicine.medscape.com]
The etiology of Anaplastic Carcinoma is unknown and is considered by most to be incurable. It often presents as a rapidly expanding neck mass with swallowing and breathing difficulties.[kumc.edu]
