Objective: Endoscopic thyroidectomy through the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) is predominantly used in cases involving low-risk thyroid malignancies and benign nodules measuring <4 cm. However, the efficacy and safety of this technique in larger goiters remain underexplored.
Methods: This retrospective study compared perioperative data and pathologic outcomes among patients who underwent endoscopic BABA thyroidectomy categorized on the basis of the size of the dominant nodule (<4 vs ≥4 cm).

From December 2023 through to June 2024, five patients underwent this procedure, including three cases of the wedge resection, one case of the lobectomy, and one case of the segmentectomy.
