Thyroidectomy techniques have evolved from traditional open surgery to minimally invasive endoscopic approaches. This evolution offers patients benefits like reduced dissection and smaller incisions, improving outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Endocrinology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Thyroidectomy has been performed using the same technique for nearly a century.
  • Traditional thyroidectomy involves significant neck dissection and larger incisions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the recent evolution of thyroidectomy techniques.
  • To discuss the benefits of endoscopic thyroidectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical and modern thyroidectomy procedures.
  • Analysis of patient outcomes with endoscopic approaches.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic thyroidectomy offers reduced dissection and smaller incisions.
  • Documented improvements in cosmetic appearance, quality of life, and function.
