Dr. Jenny Y. Yoo, with Centegra Health System, explains the need for expert eyes on a Thyroid issue to determine whether or not surgery is necessary.
If you have thyroid cancer, you may be facing surgery. It’s the most common treatment, and it’s usually very successful.
Your surgery will depend on the kind of thyroid cancer you have. A thyroidectomy is when all or part of the thyroid gland is removed. A lobectomy is when one of the two lobes of your thyroid is removed. If the cancer has spread, lymph nodes in the neck area may be taken out, as well.

An ACL tear is a knee injury that can occur at any time, but often it happens during sports or an activity where a person is twisting, pivoting or jumping and the knee hyperextends or twists unnaturally. Sometimes, a patient may not need surgery. However, if the ligament is completely torn or the damage is severe, surgery likely will be the best option. Dr. William D. Cox Jr., an orthopedic surgeon with Centegra Physician Care-McHenry County Orthopedics, explains what to watch for in an ACL injury.
