The lateral approach to thyroidectomy offers technical advantages in reoperations and for malignant involvement of prethyroid muscles. While not a primary alternative to median access, it

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Endocrine Surgery

Context:

  • Presents a systematic technique for lateral approach thyroidectomy, utilized since 1987.
  • Focuses on thyroid reoperations for recurrent benign and malignant conditions.
  • Explores its application in primary thyroid operations.

Purpose:

  • To detail the technical advantages of the lateral approach in thyroid reoperations.
  • To highlight the oncological benefits in cases of prethyroid muscle involvement.
  • To emphasize the mandatory identification of the recurrent laryngeal nerve due to lateral vascular ligatures.

Summary:

  • The lateral approach to thyroidectomy is presented as a valuable technique, particularly for thyroid reoperations.
  • It offers specific oncological advantages when malignant tumors involve the prethyroid muscles.
