Brief Answer:
Hello dear. Observation only is required
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. Sincs the tumor is small, no further investigation or intervention is required. A ct neck can be done if not done preoperatively. Patient should be kept on regular follow up only by serum tsh and thyroglobulin measurements. Thyroxine replacement therapy to keep tsh levels suppressed will be required. You can consult your endocrinologist for that.
Thanks and regards
