Woman happy with results achieved with innovative robotic surger
Judy Storgaard of Princeton had reason to worry about the lump she discovered along her throat when she and husband David were in Austin, Texas, at Christmastime last year.The couple were visiting Judy’s sister-in-law Alex when one day Judy felt the large lump, in her words, on the left side of her throat. Her emotion was fear.
“I was scared,” recalled Judy, noting that members of her family have died from cancer, including her mother only months before in the summer of 2010.
Judy and David didn’t wait until getting back to Princeton to begin checking out the lump. Judy went to urgent care at a medical facility in Austin and had blood tests, which showed normal levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, or TSH.
Judy then had an ultrasound done there and it indicated the lump was a cyst about the size of a walnut on the left side of her thyroid. A doctor there suggested that it could possibly indicate one of three things, Judy said, naming them as a hyperactive thyroid gland, a hypo or underactive thyroid gland or perhaps cancer.
Her next recommended procedure was a biopsy, or removing a sample of the lump and examining it. It was suggested that the Storgaards return home for that. A week after the ultrasound, Judy had the biopsy back in Minnesota. It showed the lump to be a benign or a noncancerous cyst.
“I was relieved,” Judy said as she recently talked about those events, what she did about it and how everything turned out.
The surgery
Judy had Dr. Maria Evasovich at the University of Minnesota Fairview Medical Center in Maple Grove remove the cyst.
Evasovich is an assistant professor in the U of M’s Department of Surgery. Judy said that Evasovich told her she was the “perfect candidate” for a thyroidectomy using robotic surgery.
The reason for that statement, Judy explained, was because Judy was thin, having lost 116 pounds following gastric bypass surgery in January 2010. The robotic surgery was to be done by making a small tunnel from Judy’s left armpit and up into the neck and the less fatty tissue to go through the better, Judy explained.
