Feasibility of Treatment of Thyroid and Parathyroid Tumors via endoscopic

Abstract

Endoscopic approaches for thyroid and parathyroid surgeries have developed a boom within minimally invasive techniques, given the multiple advantages, such as: avoiding cervical scar, improving aesthetics, reducing pain and complications, and facilitating recovery from the patient. Objective: Demonstrate the expansion and reproducibility of endoscopic approaches in thyroid and parathyroid surgery by general surgeons. Methods: This is a descriptive study, based on the implementation of endoscopic techniques with the use of basic laparoscopy instruments to perform thyroid and parathyroid oncological surgeries using minimally invasive approaches such as TOETVA and TOEPVA. Results: It is demonstrated that the endoscopic procedure is feasible with basic laparoscopy training and laparoscopy instruments such as: trocars, endoscopy tower, optics, cutting, dissection and coagulation instruments, in addition to synthesis and hemostatic material, providing oncological efficacy and safety.Conclusion: The transoral vestibular approach of endoscopic thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy is a challenging challenge, but with unmatched cosmetic and functional results, they are also feasible, effective, safe and applicable in any institution with a decrease in morbidity.
