Why Save Your Thyroid
“Save Your Thyroid” is not just a slogan, it is our mission, a philosophy and a healthy lifestyle that was created with the purpose of disseminating and promoting the technique and benefits of thyroid thermoablation as a standard innovative procedure useful to avoid and reduce the number of unnecessary surgeries.
The main purpose of the project is to raise awareness among patients, encouraging the application of thermoablation with the correct indications, safeguarding the thyroid gland to benefit to enjoy its unaltered function, without scarring, without general anesthesia and without the need to have to take thyroid hormone replacement therapy for life!
The use of the latest technologies and techniques developed by Prof. Spiezia allow for increased quality of life, drastically reducing pre- and post-operative complications as well as promoting, virtually, immediate recovery times.
But “Save Your Thyroid” is also an educational program; it is an international school of thyroid ultrasound and echo-intervention supported by and emanating from Italy’s leading scientific society dealing with ultrasound, the SIUMB, and a team of highly experienced specialists coordinated by the school’s Director with 25 years’ experience in the field of thermoablation treatment of thyroid pathologies.
