“…The technique has already been applied to patients suffering from chronic sialolithiasis [11]. Vascular surgery of the carotid artery has been described in animal experiments [15]. In addition to the endoscopic removal of cervical cysts in patients [16], dissection of the vagal nerve and endoscopic cervical liposuction have already been performed [17].…”

“…A Veress needle is also inserted in this space. At the present time, parathyroid gland resection, neck dissection, submandibular gland excision, resection of the thyroid gland, and carotid endarterectomy have been successfully performed with the aid of CO 2 insufflation [4,5,15,18,21].…”

There is increasing demand for surgical procedures which avoid visible scars while maintaining optimal functional and ideal cosmetic results, without compromising the safety or effectiveness of the procedure. Endoscopic techniques have been adapted to abdominal and pelvic surgery and increasingly employed over the past three decades. Although hampered by the absence of a natural cavity, endoscopic techniques have been adapted to surgery in the neck for the past 15 years, particularly for the thyroid gland. While earlier attempts at endoscopic thyroid surgery were performed through incisions in or near the midline of the neck, recent techniques have been developed to place the incisions and endoscopic ports extracervically, or at least away from the midline region of the neck, rendering the cosmetic result more acceptable. Most of these approaches are through the axilla, breast, chest wall or a combination of approaches. Visualization of the thyroid and rate of complications with these approaches are equal to those attained with older endoscopic approaches. Careful patient selection is important for endoscopic surgery. Complications unique to the endoscopic approach are mostly related to insufflation of cervical tissues with pressurized CO(2).

“…The study by Rubino et al [2] on laparoscopic carotid artery surgery in a porcine model is a welcome technical feat. Beyond that, however, it is hard to envisage how it could possibly serve as a useful precursor of a procedure for treating clinical disease for several reasons.…”
