Abstract

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic transaxillary approaches to thyroidectomy have been well described and gasless transaxillary endoscopic thyroidectomy (GTET) is the most popular method. However, this require a single long axillary incision which is longer than most remote access thyroidectomy procedures. The authors improved the GTET and provided a novel way to access the thyroid. The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of our novel transaxillary thyroidectomy procedure and to attempt to reduce the size of the scar and reduce the flap creation area.
