Advantages of our technique

Drawing on the experience I gained working in specialised Endocrine Surgery units in Great Britain, I enthusiastically founded, in Athens, a pioneering Endocrine Surgery team, consisting of highly trained colleagues.

The modern thyroid and parathyroid surgery we perform has, in brief, the below advantages for the patient:

• 24-hour or less hospitalisation
• Impressively small surgical incision
• Modern minimally invasive technique- Use of specially designed microsurgery tools or video camera ( Minimally invasive surgery, video-assisted surgery)
• No scalpel (Radiofrequency ablation/Ultrasicion/Ligasure)
• No stitches – Plastic surgery recovery technique (no stitches to remove)
• No drainage tubes – The patient leaves the operating room with a small gauze only
• No pain – Painkillers are not even prescribed at discharge
• No blood loss –No transfusion is required. No blood donor is needed
• kindImmediate immobilisation –Patients may visit the cafeteria of the Clinic starting the same afternoon.
• Immediate feeding –Free diet starting from the same afternoon
• Talk straightaway–Assurance of integrity of the vocal cords by using a neuromonitoring machine during surgery and second confirmation with video-laryngoscopy during regaining consciousness
• Assurance of integrity of the parathyroid glands
• Speedy recovery
• Speedy complete return to daily activities and work in a very short period of time (many patients are able to work the day after discharge)
• Minimization of postoperative complications occasionally accompanying the traditional operation methods
• Experienced and permanent Anaesthesiology Medical team with specific scientific interest in endocrine surgery
• Selected Clinic offering complete patient care, employing top scientific staff, state-of-the-art facilities and surgical equipment.
• Personal care, in a pleasant and friendly environment
• Excellent cosmetic outcome
