Bangladesh got the recognition as the spotless thyroid operation completing country

Bangladesh got the recognition as the spotless thyroid operation completing country at the 5th International Thyroid Notes (Natural Orpheus Thyroid Endoscopic Surgery) conference on Friday.

Legendary surgeon Lt Col Dr Anuong Anakun of Bangkok Police General Hospital gave the recognition at the conference.

Though the operation was regular in 44 developed countries of the world, Bangladesh was not in that group. Mahbub Alam, a resident surgeon at Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, started the first spotless operation at the hospital in Bangladesh in November last year.

This operation leaves less outside spots than the regular operation. It causes minor post-operative pain, less to stay in the hospital and keep patient's voice better.
