How Our Surgeon Selection Works
Imagine you're going to have your thyroid removed. Who would you select?
A) ENT Surgeon
Performs 50 thyroid removals (thyroidectomies) each year.
B) General Surgeon
Performs 1 thyroidectomy each year.
Most People Select A.
Intuitively, you would select the more specialized surgeon. But the effect is more pronounced than you may think.
Your likelihood of complication can decrease by up to 98% with a more experienced surgeon.
The research is clear – surgeons who perform more thyroidectomies each year have lower complication rates. It’s a direct correlation: the frequency of performing this intricate surgery sharpens the surgeon’s acumen, leading to a higher success rate and a safer experience for you.
