Endoscopic Thyroidectomy ~ Axilliary approach

Endoscopic Thyroidectomy ~ Axilliary approach



Endoscopic Thyroidectomy is performed through the ports inserted from the axilla.

Hence the major advantage of  Endoscopic Thyroidectomy is that there will be no scar in the neck.

Major disadvantage of the procedure is that it demands  a steep learning curve from the part of the surgeon.

The procedure requires specialized instruments.

         This procedure is not ideal for very large thyroids.
