Background: Injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and parathyroid glands (PGs) are the most common and serious complications during the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA), and their exposure and protection are the most important factors affecting the operation time. Here, we report a novel anatomical landmark and surgical method to shorten the operative time and reduce the chance of injury to the RLN and PGs.
Methods: According to the different exposure methods of the RLN, patients were divided into the experimental group (from top to bottom, E-group) and the comparison group (from outside to inside, C-group), and 1:1 propensity score-matching (PSM) was performed.

Objective: Few studies have reported risk factors for post-thyroidectomy hypoparathyroidism (HPT) in children. We aimed to identify predicting factors for transient and permanent HPT after total thyroidectomy in pediatric patients.
Study Design: Retrospective review of medical charts.

Parathyroid gland (PG) auto-transplantation is performed to preserve the function of de-vascularized or unintentionally removed PGs, however, little has been published about the technique and outcomes in children. In our study, we aimed to present the results of PG auto-transplantation in children undergoing thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy at a tertiary single institution. A retrospective review identified 14 patients (<18 years of age) who underwent PG auto-transplantation from January 2000 to December 2022.

Introduction: Benign multinodular goiter (BMNG) can grow very large and cause compression symptoms, making the operation procedure difficult. However, the recurrence rate of BMNG ranges from 3% to 43%. Reoperative thyroid surgery for BMNG is uncommon and can result in a high rate of complications, including hypoparathyroidism and recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy.

Thyroid dysfunction directly affects human health and overall well-being; various approaches are available for the treatment of thyroid diseases, including conservative measures and surgical interventions. Despite advancements in conservative treatment, surgery remains the preferred option. Hypoparathyroidism is the primary cause of hospitalization after thyroidectomy, leading to cost-related concerns and a detrimental impact on patients' overall quality of life.
