Procedures:

Mr Christakis is highly experienced in performing a wide range of surgical procedures. All of the below are performed at his clinic in Nottingham.

Thyroid Nodule Surgery

A thyroid nodule occurs when cells proliferate to form a mass. These are very common and are mostly harmless, but sometimes they can contain cancerous cells. After a scan and biopsy, you may need to undergo surgery to remove any thyroid nodules that are cause for concern.

Hyperparathyroidism Treatment

This condition occurs when parathyroid cells behave abnormally, which can cause the overproduction of parathyroid hormone (PTH). This can lead to too much calcium in the blood. If one or more of your parathyroid glands are overactive, hyperparathyroidism surgery is often recommended to remove the affected glands, to avoid complications.

Parathyroidectomy Surgery

This procedure involves removing either one or a number of parathyroid glands. If an adenoma or hyperplasia is present, the parathyroid glands will produce excessive parathyroid hormone. A parathyroidectomy procedure is performed under general anaesthetic, and takes place in your neck area.

Graves’ Disease Treatment

Graves disease is an autoimmune condition that can be a root cause of an overactive thyroid. It causes too much thyroid hormone to be produced and released into the body, causing a range of problems and imbalances. It is more common among women and those under 40 years of age. Mr Christakis can determine the most appropriate treatment for your condition. Possible Graves’ disease treatments can include medications, or surgical procedures such as the partial or complete removal of the thyroid gland.
