Abstract | Since the first report of endoscopic subtotal
parathyroidectomy in 1996, a variety of endoscopic surgical
approaches has been reported. These endoscopic
approaches include the minimally-invasive video-assisted
thyroidectomy (MIVAT), the endoscopic lateral approach,
the lateral mini-incision approach, the anterior/chest
(hybrid) approach, the transaxillary approach, the axillobreast
approach, the post-auricular and axillary approach,
and other novel experimental approaches. Some of these
approaches could be done with the assistance of the da
Vinci robot (i.e. robotic-assisted thyroidectomy). For simplification,
these approaches could be categorized into the
cervical/direct approach and the extra-cervical/indirect
approach. Each technique or approach has its own benefits
and weaknesses. Currently, there is no preferred approach
in the literature and the choice seems to be determined by
the surgeon’s own experience and the patient’s preference.
In our experience, the transaxillary approach was a technically
more challenging procedure and was associated
with longer hospital stay, longer operating time, more
immediate pain, and increased overall RLN injury and
morbidity than MIVAT. The 6-month scar appearance
and patient satisfaction were similar between the two
procedures. |
