Lymph node dissection is a surgical procedure used to remove lymph nodes from the neck and other areas of the body affected by cancer. This procedure is commonly used in the treatment of thyroid cancer, as cancerous cells can often spread to the lymph nodes.

During a lymph node dissection, Dr. Vikas Goyal will make a small incision in the affected area and carefully remove the lymph nodes. The number of lymph nodes that need to be removed will depend on the size and location of the cancer. Dr. Goyal will typically perform this procedure under general anesthesia to ensure that you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the process.

After the procedure, you may experience some discomfort and swelling in the affected area, which can be managed with pain medication and other treatments. Dr. Goyal and his team will closely monitor your recovery and provide you with the support you need to ensure a speedy and successful recovery.

While lymph node dissection is a common procedure, it is important to choose a skilled and experienced surgeon like Dr. Vikas Goyal to perform the surgery.
