Endoscopic neck surgery, using gasless or low-pressure CO2 insufflation, offers excellent cosmetic results for thyroid and parathyroid conditions. Both techniques are feasible and effective for benign diseases.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Endocrinology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Endoscopic neck surgery is an evolving field aiming to improve cosmetic outcomes.
  • Traditional CO2 insufflation can cause complications.
  • Gasless and low-pressure insufflation methods have been developed to mitigate these risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of gasless and low-pressure CO2 insufflation endoscopic neck surgery.
  • To assess the cosmetic results and complication rates associated with these techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 59 patients undergoing endoscopic neck surgery over 3 years.
  • Procedures included hemithyroidectomy, subtotal thyroidectomy for Graves' disease, and parathyroid adenoma extirpation.

  • Utilized both gasless skin-lifting and low-pressure CO2 insufflation via a breast approach.
  • Intraoperative parathormone assay used for parathyroid surgery confirmation.

    • Main Results:

    • 59 patients successfully underwent endoscopic neck surgery.
    • Excellent cosmetic results were achieved with both gasless and low-pressure CO2 insufflation methods.
    • Effective treatment for benign thyroid tumors, Graves' disease, and primary hyperparathyroidism.

    Conclusions:

    • Both gasless and low-pressure CO2 insufflation endoscopic neck surgery are feasible and safe.
    • These minimally invasive techniques provide excellent cosmetic outcomes for various benign neck conditions.
    • Further research can explore long-term efficacy and patient satisfaction.
