[Video-assisted surgical interventions on the thyroid gland]

Area of Science:

• Minimally Invasive Surgery
• Endosurgery
• Thyroid Disease Management

Context:

• Analysis of 137 patients undergoing endovideosurgical treatment for thyroid diseases.
• Evaluation of a novel surgical approach utilizing ultrasonic scissors.

Purpose:

• To analyze the outcomes of endovideosurgical thyroid disease treatment.
• To assess the efficacy and safety of ultrasonic scissors in thyroid surgery.

Summary:

• Ultrasonic scissors facilitate a mini-approach (2-3 cm) for thyroid surgery.
• The technique eliminates the need for ligatures and drains, allowing for cosmetic suture closure.
• Patients were discharged within 3 days with an uneventful postoperative period.

Impact:

• Demonstrates a safe and effective minimally invasive technique for thyroid surgery.
• Highlights reduced patient recovery time and improved cosmetic results.
• Establishes potential for wider adoption in thyroid disease management.
