The follow-up care after surgery to treat Graves' disease differs based on whether the thyroid was surgically removed through a total thyroidectomy or was ablated (destroyed) using radioactive iodine. Dr. Bauer from the Pediatric Thyroid Center at CHOP explains the follow-up required based on the type of treatment performed.
As part of the follow-up care process, we work closely with referring physicians to provide uniform, coordinated care for patients with thyroid disease.
