A new single retractor enhances conventional open thyroidectomies by improving surgical field exposure and protecting skin edges, leading to better healing. This technique offers advantages for thyroid surgery patients seeking acceptable scar outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Surgery
  • Endocrinology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Conventional open thyroidectomy remains prevalent despite advancements in minimally invasive techniques.
  • Surgical incision lengths have decreased, improving patient scar acceptance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel single retractor for conventional open thyroidectomy.
  • To assess the benefits of this device in conjunction with intraoperative neuromonitoring.

Main Methods:

  • Presentation of a technical note on the use of the APOLLO® single retractor.
  • Application in conventional open thyroidectomies with intraoperative neuromonitoring.

Main Results:

  • The APOLLO® retractor provides enhanced surgical field exposure.
