Endoscopic Thyroid Surgery through Breast and Axillary Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thyroid surgery was introduced since ages; it was initially started with large incision in the neck. Due to advancement in technology the minimally invasive surgery has been introduced for all organs. This technology is introduced in the thyroid surgery too. Different approaches have been established including minimally invasive video assisted, endoscopic, robotic and natural orifice thyroid surgery. Among these different approaches of endoscopic thyroid surgery, the breast and axillary approach is most acceptable and easy to perform. Here I am going to describe this technique of endoscopic thyroid surgery.

If fine needle aspiration cytology is positive, or suspicious for malignancy, surgery is recommended. During the past decade, with the tendency to develop smaller incisions, an endoscopic approach has been applied to thyroid su...

متن کاملDevelopment of video-assisted breast cancer surgery: Initial experience with a novel method for creating working space without prior liposuction
Endoscopic techniques are promising in breast surgery. In order to create working space, liposuction is widely used in video-assisted breast surgery (VABS). However, the use of liposuction is likely associated with side effects that may partly limit the application of VABS. Therefore, a new technique of endoscopic axillary lymphadenectomy without prior liposuction was developed by our group. A ...
