What are the Long-term Considerations Post-Thyroidectomy?
Long-term management after thyroidectomy involves regular monitoring of thyroid hormone levels and adjustment of hormone replacement therapy as needed. From a toxicological standpoint, it's essential to assess ongoing exposure to potential thyroid disruptors in the patient's environment. Education on avoiding further exposure to known endocrine disruptors can be an important component of post-operative care, helping to prevent further complications.
