Thyroid Surgery Information Guides
This page has links to a number of guides I have produced to explain your thyroid surgery, which can be downloaded and then stored on your computer, or printed out to be read later. In most cases I will have already given you a copy during your consultation, but they are available here as well.
In order to read these files you will need a PDF reader, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader. Most people will already have this on their computers, but if not it can be found by clicking this button
Just click on the file you wish to download.
