Minimal access thyroid surgery offers two distinct approaches: minimally invasive thyroidectomy (MITh) and minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT). Patient and disease factors guide the selection for safe and effective thyroid procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Minimal access thyroid surgery has evolved significantly, offering diverse techniques.
  • Two primary approaches are now recognized for thyroid compartment procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare minimally invasive thyroidectomy (MITh) and minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT).
  • To analyze technical aspects and patient outcomes for these distinct minimal access thyroid surgery techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic analysis of historic and new data, including patient demographics, pathology, and complication rates.
  • Videographic and photographic documentation of MITh and MIVAT procedures were utilized.

Main Results:

  • The MITh group (n=31) showed a mean incision of 4.9 cm with minor complications. The MIVAT group (n=14) had a mean incision of 25 mm and reported no complications.
  • Common diagnoses included follicular adenoma and papillary carcinoma in both groups.

Conclusions:

  • Two distinct minimal access thyroid surgery approaches are available.
  • Selection should be based on patient and disease factors for optimal outcomes.
  • Careful patient selection ensures safe and satisfactory minimally invasive thyroid surgery.
