Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Traditional thyroidectomy can result in visible scarring.
  • Minimally invasive techniques aim to improve cosmetic outcomes and reduce recovery time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and safety of endoscopic thyroidectomy for unilateral lobectomy and isthmectomy.
  • To evaluate the impact of ultrasonic shears on surgical outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 40 patients undergoing endoscopic thyroidectomy for nodules <3 cm.
  • Comparison between procedures with and without ultrasonic shears (US).

Main Results:

  • Zero conversion rate and reduced operative time observed when using US.

  • No reported morbidity, including hematoma or vocal cord palsy.
  • High patient satisfaction with cosmetic results and short recovery.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic thyroidectomy is a feasible and safe option for unilateral lobectomy and isthmectomy.
    • Ultrasonic shears enhance safety and efficiency.
    • Potential for future application in selected bilateral goiter cases.
