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.
