Why Choose Thyropole?
An Experienced Team
The Thyropole Center performs over 150 thyroid and parathyroid procedures annually, including total and partial thyroidectomies and parathyroidectomies. Solid experience, proven technical skill, and meticulous attention to detail are essential for ensuring safe, optimal care.
A Fast and Efficient Process
Whether you're local or coming from afar, benefit from rapid access to care at Thyropole.
We also work closely with the Bergonié Institute in Bordeaux, especially for thyroid cancer treatment, through a multidisciplinary collaborative approach.
Focused on Surgical Quality and Patient Experience
We are trained to handle voice disorders—especially those that can arise after thyroid surgery, such as injury to the recurrent or superior laryngeal nerves or vocal cord trauma from intubation (hematoma, arytenoid dislocation). After diagnosis, we guide you to the appropriate treatment.
Our goal: never leave you alone with post-operative voice issues and do everything possible to restore satisfactory vocal quality.
Advanced and Innovative Instruments
We use state-of-the-art surgical instruments to ensure maximum safety and precision:
• The NIM (Nerve Integrity Monitor) system provides real-time monitoring of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, significantly reducing the risk of nerve damage.
• The next-generation coblation dissector uses low-temperature energy to precisely and atraumatically dissect and coagulate tissues, minimizing bleeding and protecting delicate structures like nerves and parathyroid glands.
