Endoscopic thyroidectomy: retroauricular approach [PDF]
Gland Surgery, 2016 The incidence of thyroid cancer has abruptly increased recently, with a female predominance. Conventional thyroidectomy using transcervical incision inevitably leaves an unfavorable neck scar; therefore, various extracervical approaches have been introduced to improve cosmetic satisfaction after thyroidectomy.

Total Endoscopic Thyroidectomy
Asian Journal of Surgery, 2003 We have developed endoscopic thyroidectomy procedures using anterior chest and axillary approaches. Both of our procedures differ significantly from the usual thyroidectomy, which involves lifting both the platysma and the sternohyoid muscle. Because only the platysma is lifted during our procedures, a CO(2) insufflation pressure of less than 4 mmHg is

Drainage During Endoscopic Thyroidectomy [PDF]
JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons, 2019 Conventional cervical drainage tubes are placed crossing the suprasternal fossa during endoscopic thyroidectomy. In our clinical experience, some patients show shallow or absent suprasternal fossa, which affects the cosmetic outcome in the patient. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the feasibility and significance of restoring the suprasternal ...

Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach [PDF]
JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons, 2019 Remote-access thyroid surgery has gained popularity and has advanced significantly over the past two decades, given the patient desire to avoid cosmetically displeasing scarring. It has only been recently that natural-orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) techniques have been geared for thyroidectomies.
