You have been offered an operation on the thyroid or parathyroid glands and you would like another opinion before deciding. Dr Deroide studies your records during a video consultation and tells you whether surgery is necessary and which technique may be suitable.
Booking on Doctolib. Video consultation in French or English.
Checking the indication for surgery
Dr Deroide reviews your tests and tells you whether a procedure is justified today or whether monitoring may be considered.
Learning about the possible techniques
Conventional neck surgery or scarless surgery via the transoral approach (TOETVA), or even a minimally invasive method such as thermal ablation in some cases: you know what is possible for you.
A discussion without travelling
The consultation takes place by video from your home. This is useful if you live far from Levallois-Perret or if you want an opinion before organising a trip.
Who it is for
Who is this teleconsultation for?
It is intended for patients who already have a diagnosis and tests, for example in these situations:
- a thyroid nodule for which an operation is proposed;
- a goitre that is troublesome or is increasing in volume;
- primary hyperparathyroidism confirmed by blood tests;
- Graves’ disease for which surgery is being discussed;
- thyroid cancer, before the surgical decision;
- wanting to know whether scarless TOETVA surgery is possible in your case.
The decision always depends on several criteria: size and location of the lesion, medical history, anatomy, imaging results and whether or not cancer is suspected.
Key point
The teleconsultation makes it possible to give an opinion based on your records. It does not replace the clinical examination: if a procedure is decided on, a consultation at the practice is planned before the operation.

During the consultation, he goes over your results with you, answers your questions and tells you the management he recommends.
Documents to prepare
Useful tests for your second opinion
Gather the reports you already have. The more complete the records, the more detailed the opinion can be.
Your most recent thyroid ultrasound, with its report
The result of the fine-needle aspiration, if it has been performed
Your latest blood tests (TSH, calcium and PTH if the parathyroid glands are affected)
A scintigraphy or a CT scan, if you have had one
The letter from your family doctor or your endocrinologist
The operative report, if you have already had thyroid surgery

Frequently asked questions
Your questions about the second opinion teleconsultation
Does the teleconsultation replace a consultation at the practice?
It makes it possible to give an opinion based on your tests and your history. The clinical examination remains necessary before any operation: if a procedure is decided on, a consultation at the Levallois-Perret practice is planned.
Can Dr Deroide tell me whether TOETVA is possible for me?
It is one of the questions most often asked in second opinions. TOETVA is not suitable for every situation: the size of the nodules, the volume of the thyroid and the diagnosis are taken into account. Dr Deroide explains what is possible with your records. Find out more about TOETVA
