Wikipedia
A thyroidectomy involves the surgical removal of all or part of the
thyroid gland. Surgeons often perform a thyroidectomy when a patient
has thyroid cancer or some other condition of the thyroid gland
(such as hyperthyroidism). Other indications for surgery include
cosmetic (very enlarged thyroid), or symptomatic obstruction
(causing difficulties in swallowing or breathing). One of the
complications of "thyroidectomy" is voice change and patients are
strongly advised to only be operated on by surgeons who protect the
voice by using electronic nerve monitoring.
The thyroid produces several hormones, such as thyroxine (T4),
triiodothyronine (T3) and calcitonin.

After the removal of a thyroid patients usually take prescribed oral
synthetic thyroid hormones to prevent the most serious
manifestations of the resultant hypothyroidism.

Less extreme variants of thyroidectomy include:

"hemithyroidectomy" (or "unilateral lobectomy") -- removing only
half of the thyroid
"isthmectomy" -- removing the band of tissue (or isthmus) connecting
the two lobes of the thyroid
A "thyroidectomy" should not be confused with a "thyroidotomy"
("thyrotomy"), which is a cutting into (-otomy) the thyroid, not a
removal (-ectomy) of it. A thyroidotomy can be performed to get
access for a median laryngotomy, or to perform a biopsy. (Although
technically a biopsy involves removing some tissue, it is more
frequently categorized as an -otomy than an -ectomy because the
volume of tissue removed is minuscule.)
