Endoscopic thyroidectomy is gaining greater acceptance because of its excellent cosmetic result. As the surgical skill and understanding of the endoscopic cervical anatomy has improved, the surgical indications for endoscopic thyroidectomy have recently expanded to small size thyroid cancer. Despite the many advantages of laparoscopic surgery, there have been incidental reports about recurrences at the site of insertion of the laparoscope or other instruments in other cancers. Herein, we present a case of 25-year-old woman who had recurrent cancers around the operative bed and subcutaneous tunnel after endoscopic thyroidectomy.

Objective: The transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) is a minimally invasive technique. This study aimed to compare the safety of TOETVA with fibrin sealant (Tisseel) and TOETVA with drainage.
Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent TOETVA between January 2018 and December 2021 were divided into drainage ( = 20) and Tisseel ( = 30) groups.

Background Selection between open thyroidectomy (OT) and minimally invasive (endoscopic/robotic) thyroidectomy (MT) for patients with thyroid cancer has been a subject of considerable debate. Comprehensive analysis of the short-term outcomes of endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET), robotic thyroidectomy (RT) and OT for thyroid cancer using a large-scale dataset is important. Methods This cohort study evaluated the outcomes of patients receiving ET, RT vs OT for thyroid cancer from January 1, 2003, to December 31, 2022.

Purpose: The transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) is distinguished by its ability to leave no visible scars on the body's surface. Currently, there is still a lack of single-center large sample size analysis on the learning curve of TOETVA, especially for the treatment of thyroid cancer. This study aims to fill this void by presenting a comprehensive analysis of the learning curve and assessing the procedure's feasibility in managing thyroid cancer.

Background: Endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET) offers superior cosmetic outcomes compared to traditional open thyroidectomy but is associated with higher postoperative drainage volumes (DV) and potential complications. Although ET via the areola approach (ETAA) has been used, the factors influencing DV after ETAA remain poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to identify clinical parameters that can objectively evaluate the factors influencing drainage volume after ETAA.

Voice alteration is a recognized complication of thyroid surgery, impacting the quality of life and communication for affected individuals. In this prospective observational study, the Acoustic Voice Quality Index (AVQI) was employed to assess vocal outcomes after thyroidectomy. Between February 2018 and August 2022, 224 patients underwent Thyroid surgery in our department, of which 74 with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) were enrolled in accordance with the inclusion criteria.
