However, during the removal process, a part of the thyroid tissue needs to be retained to maintain normal physiological function. After the operation, the patient's thyroid-stimulating hormone needs to be monitored to ensure its normal level;

2. Precautions: After thyroid cancer surgery, patients need to rest and avoid overwork. At the same time, they also need to pay attention to diet conditioning and eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as eggs, milk, lean meat, etc. Patients also need to go to the hospital for regular checkups and receive corresponding treatment according to the doctor's advice.
