Gasless Transaxillary Thyroidectomy: A Technique of Endoscopic Thyroidectomy
نویسنده
چکیده
Various endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET) techniques ranging from video-assisted, total endoscopic, transaxillary endoscopic, robotic and chest wall approaches have been reported for thyroid surgery. They can be broadly divided in to gas-dependent and gasless approaches. Here, we describe our technique of gasless transaxillary thyroidectomy with synergistic benefits of open and endoscopic thyroidectomies.

Comparative study of a gasless transaxillary approach versus a bilateral axillo-breast approach for endoscopic thyroidectomy in a single institute.
BACKGROUND Gasless transaxillary approach (TA) and the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) are 2 distinctive approaches for endoscopic thyroidectomy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare these 2 procedures. METHODS From May 2008 to July 2011, we performed endoscopic hemithyroidectomy via gasless TA (83 cases) and BABA (45 cases). The following variables were evaluated: op...

BACKGROUND Since first reported in 1996, endoscopic minimally invasive surgery of the cervical region has been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of benign thyroid and parathyroid disease. The endoscopic transaxillary technique uses a remote lateral approach to the thyroid gland. Because of the perceived difficulty in accessing the contralateral anatomy of the thyroid gland, this t...
