Endoscopic Thyroidectomy
Endoscopic thyroid surgery or endoscopic thyroidectomy is a surgical technique allowing the surgeon to perform thyroid surgery through small skin incisions. It is also called Minimally Invasive Video-Assisted Thyroidectomy. Minimal access approaches are attempted in neck surgery as they avoid scar to the neck. Here we perform endoscopic thyroidectomy through very small incisions made at the axilla. A video camera is inserted that provides a magnified view of the internal structures. This aids in comfortable dissection of the thyroid as the surgeon can view the internal structures magnified on a computer monitor. This adds the benefit of safety and precision.
Advantages of Endoscopic Thyroidectomy
The greatest benefit of endoscopic thyroidectomy is that the neck remains free of scar as the thyroidectomy is performed endoscopically via incisions made at the axilla. The smallest of scars produced are hidden beneath the inner clothes at the axilla. This is a great cosmetic advantage.
- No scar on the neck
- Only 2 days needed for recovery
- Minimally Invasive Surgery (Keyhole incision at the axilla)
- Better visualization of nerves and parathyroids, so less problems after surgery
