Surgery & Specialization
“I believe in the value of specialization and that is why I have invested so much in both my own training and the training of my associates. I searched and found the best teachers in endocrine surgery. I continue to be informed about what is new in this specialization. From what you and your loved ones benefit, you have to undergo thyroid surgery.
Cooperation
I have an open channel of communication and cooperation with the largest and best in the world, Endocrine Surgery Center in Pisa, Italy, at the University Hospital. I am also a regular member of many scientific societies that specialize in thyroid surgery. All this has provided me with high specialization. “
The thyroid surgeon, Stavros Tsirigotakis, but also his specialized associates, have high training and high level know-how. They have over 20 years of experience in specialized surgery
that you need, but also required in your thyroid surgery. The services he can offer you are known to be of high quality and he is able to handle even the most difficult cases. He has a lot of experience and this, combined with his high education in thyroid surgery, means that he provides you with safety and the full range of surgical care you need.

The main fear of all those who are going to have thyroid surgery is your voice. In fact, for some of you, the voice is a tool of your work (singers, actors, presenters, priests, etc.). A change in her complexion can have unpleasant consequences, Stavros Tsirigotakis knows this very well, he feels the responsibility he has and thank you for trusting him.
The trust you show him has been gained with the quality of his services.
Required surgery
Thyroid and parathyroid surgery is a demanding surgery and requires delicate manipulations. The thyroid gland is in contact with the nerves that are responsible for speech and the parathyroid glands, which play a role in regulating blood calcium levels. They must be kept intact during surgery. If the nerves are abused (hoarseness to loss of voice occurs). And if the parathyroid glands are injured then hypocalcaemia occurs (causes numbness to spasm). These are very unpleasant situations. On the one hand, however, the goal is the complete removal of the gland, while on the other hand, there is no injury to these elements. Therefore, identifying, preserving and protecting them is not an easy task if the surgeon is not specialized. These elements must be carefully removed above the gland.
Zero residue
Choosing not to remove the part of the gland that comes in contact with these elements to protect them is a bad choice and does not have an excellent result. This means that the patient after surgery can not be easily adjusted. But it is even worse when cancer is diagnosed. Then the additional treatment with radioactive Iodine will need to be greater. Sometimes the patient needs reoperation to remove the remaining thyroid. This has a psychological, physical and financial burden and certainly a higher percentage of possible complications.
Surgery – Incision size
The size of the incision clearly plays an important role, since the postoperative scar will be located for a lifetime in a prominent place in the patient’s neck. We know that the size of the incision is inversely proportional to the surgeon’s experience, the more experienced the surgeon, the smaller the scar. So who would want to have such a piece of jewelry around their neck?

THYROID CANCER SURGERY
It is internationally known that the only safe procedure in the treatment of thyroid cancer is its total surgical removal. When there is a problem in the lymph nodes it is needed and supplemented by removal of the lymph nodes of the cervix. The whole course of the patient depends on the type of surgery. Complementary treatment with radioactive iodine is often required to destroy the residue. This is done to have a better result and not to complete an insufficient operation, with a large residue. This is why all the scientific companies in the world, associate the excellent operation with the specialization in thyroid surgery.
INNOVATIVE AND MODERN SURGERY FOR THE BEST POSSIBLE CARE AND THE EXCELLENT RESULT: MINIMUM INVASIVE THYROIDECTOMY.

WE PEPOISMENOI THAT THE EXCELLENT RESULT FOR MORE MEDICAL PROBLEMS ARISING FROM MULTIDISCIPLINARY, WE HAVE INVESTED AND WE ARE COMMITTED TO THIS BUT WHILE YOU ENSURE EXCELLENT AND CONTINUITY OF CARE THAT NEED AFTER SURGERY.
The main treatment is surgery
We know that surgery is the most important part of your treatment, but we also know that you may need help from a nuclear doctor or oncologist. That is why we work with them to ensure you the best result. We are also happy to work with your GP or endocrinologist, who will give you the treatment you need, so if you wish we can send you your complete file.
We know very well that the surgery process is a stressful time for each of you. Our goal is to coordinate your overall care as little as possible for you.
Financially
We want you to be sure that we know the economic situation of every person in Greece, in this time of crisis. We also know that surgery can be our job, but first of all we are operatives and we treat you as operatives.
Reading all of the above on this page, you may think that the cost for these interventions in the private sector is excessive. This is not true. The cost of course depends on the type of surgery. Not all thyroid surgery is the same. It also depends on the insurance you have as well as the hospital where the operation will take place.
Quality difference
Until now you may not have known the quality differences between thyroid surgeries. Cost is not a criterion for deciding where to have surgery. Because you did not know the quality difference in thyroid surgery, you use the financial cost as a criterion. But now you know what to ask the doctor who is going to operate on you and you know what to expect.
After our surgery, the incision you will have in your neck will be something like this. We choose to show you our patient operated on for thyroid cancer and not for benignity, where things are theoretically easier. The residue you will have after the surgery will be 95% between 0.5 and 1%.

PHOTOS NOT OF OUR PATIENTS, WHICH HAVE SUBJECT TO THYROIDECTOMY ELSEWHERE…
So is it the same surgery as the ones you see below?
WHO WOULD LIKE SUCH JEWELERY ON HIS NECK, FOR A LIFE?
You now know the remains of ours after the surgery. Would you like a residue of 8% or 10% or residues that require reoperation?
Now you know that reoperations have a higher incidence of complications. You also know and understand that reoperations hurt you mentally, physically and financially.

Thyroidectomy
For surgery, visit us to examine you to see what your problem is. Then we will tell you exactly what kind of surgery you need, I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the cost you will hear. This will include the costs of the hospital, your hospitalization, the preoperative examination, your participation in the materials and medicines, the doctors’ fees but also the cost of the histological examination. We will have the histological answer in 3-4 days and not in a month.
Immediate results
This is very important as the treatment you will do after the operation depends on the histological examination. If it takes several days for the histology to come out, you run the risk of becoming hypothyroid due to the removal of the gland. This is not a pleasant situation. If you start treatment again immediately, you may need to stop it if the histology shows malignancy. This will happen because you will need to do a scintigraphy to see the percentage of residue. This again means wasting valuable time. The histological response, however, in 3-4 days gives the best solution to all this and thus we ensure you a faster and more complete treatment.
We actively contribute to your awareness of thyroid cancer, with public speeches, but also with material that we make available to you.
