They close the blood vessels which where connected to your thyroid, perfectly normal, doctors most of the time don't even tell you because it that routine, it's like them telling you what brand of scalpels they used. They are made of anti rust titanium. Won't set of airport alarms or affect things like x rays or MRI scans. I have 8 clips in my neck after a total thyroidectomy :)

Metal clips are typically used during a thyroidectomy to mark the location of the removed thyroid tissue. These clips help in post-operative monitoring and future imaging studies. In some cases, these clips may be left in place permanently, as they do not cause any harm or complications. However, if they cause discomfort or medical reasons dictate their removal, they can be easily taken out in a subsequent procedure.
