Operative Technique of Endoscopic Thyroidectomy: A Narration of General Principles

Abstract: Endoscopic thyroidectomy is fast becoming a reality with increasing experience in endocrine surgery. Many techniques of minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy through cervical and extra-cervical routes such as chest wall, transaxillary, trans-oral, post-auricular, transluminal approach have been attempted. At present anterior chest wall or trans-axillary routes are favourite extracervical routes. In this context, we describe our operative technique of endoscopic thyroidectomy through chest wall to hig… Show more

“…Thyroid surgery was performed by three experienced surgeons. The surgical technique was based on a previously described procedure with slight modifications[ 15 ]. ICG (0.5 mg/kg) was intravenously administered 1 h before initiation of anesthesia after confirmation that the patient was not allergic to ICG.…”

“…Therefore, dry surgical field should be provided by performing blood vessel dissection and securing hemostasis. 4 While excision of thyroid via three ports offers minimum incision i.e 10 mm for camera at anterior axillary line just lateral to nipple and two 5mm port for instruments at medial part of chest 7 and at anterior axillary line at deltopectoral groove seems more promising as it is cosmetically acceptable and provides good illumination and magnified view. However, risk of complications are analogous to those in open conventional method but somehow more reliant on surgeon proficiency in field of laparoscopy.…”
