A completion thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing any remaining parts of the thyroid gland located in the neck. This procedure may be recommended after a thyroid lobectomy, during which part of the thyroid gland is surgically removed and tested for abnormalities, such as differentiated thyroid cancer. If testing identifies malignant cells on the previously removed thyroid tissue, a completion thyroidectomy may be performed.
