Minimally invasive thyroidectomy could significantly decrease thyroid cancer surgery recovery time for Argenina’s President
Los Angeles thyroid cancer specialist, Dr. Babak Larian, suggests a minimally invasive thyroidectomy would yeild a significantly shorter recovery time for President Fernandez of Argenitna.

Are American Idol contestants damaging their vocal chords?
Going from singing in the shower to competing on American Idol can add a lot of stress to the contestants’ voices. Therefore, American Idol contestants need to be vigilant about taking care of their vocal chords while they are on the show, and for the rest of their careers.
Voice lessons teach artists how to sing and perform, while speech therapy focuses on educating artists how to use their throats so they don’t put excessive pressure on their vocal chords.
The 3 Types of Thyroidectomy Surgery
A thyroidectomy, surgery to remove a portion or all of the thyroid gland, carries risk of damaging the parathyroid glands or the nerves controlling the vocal chords. This is why it is extremely important to ensure an expert surgeon, like Dr. Larian, performs your thyroid surgery.
Dangers of Flying With A Cold
Flying with a cold or allergies can cause your ears and sinuses a great deal of pain. When you are healthy, you are able to adjust to changes in air pressure, but if you have a cold, you will not be able to equalize the pressure as easily.
Beyond being uncomfortable, flying with a cold can actually be harmful to your ears. Normally, air flows through the Eustachian tube inside of your ear keeping the pressure on both sides of the eardrums equal. However, when you have a cold, swollen membranes in the ear can block the Eustachian tube.
Does your surgeon’s age matter?
A new study suggests that the prime age range for surgeons is 35 to 50 years old.
Researchers looked at nearly 3,600 thyroid surgeries performed over a year and a half timeframe, in five French hospitals. The researchers tracked two permanent complications that can occur if the surgeries aren’t expertly performed – layrygeal nerve palsy and hypoparathyroidism, which occur very rarely.
Acupuncture and Healing
Dr. Larian believes healing involves more then just medicine. The effect of the mind, stress and anxiety is beyond question; these are but a few of the factors that we all know have an impact on our ability to heal. Acupuncture can also play a part in the healing process.
A thankful note from one of Dr. Larian’s patients
Dr. Larian,
On this Thanksgiving day, I’d like to express again my thanks for the fine surgical work that you and Dr. Azzizadeh performed.
I have no visible scar and the reconstructive work has resulted, as expected in no “divot” from the superficial parotidectomy.

Is your snoring keeping your husband or wife up at night?
