ABSTRACT
Introducción: Desde hace aproximadamente 20 años se han venido realizando varias técnicas de tiroidectomía por mínimo acceso, apoyadas en la videoendoscopia en pro de reemplazar la incisión clásica descrita por Kocher. Se han diseñado múltiples abordajes, sin embargo, ninguno ha conseguido evitar totalmente las cicatrices. En el año 2008 Witzel introdujo la técnica transoral y en el 2015, Anuwong publicó la primera serie realizada en humanos. Presentación del caso: Se trata de una paciente de 47 años a quien se ha diagnosticado por PAAF una lesión folicular en el lóbulo izquierdo de la tiroides. Discusión: La paciente fue sometida a hemitiroidectomía izquierda más estudio de congelación transoperatoria que resultó negativo. Se realizó un abordaje transoral endoscópico, con un tiempo de 280 min y sangrado de 40 ml. No se registraron complicaciones en el transoperatorio ni en el postoperatorio. Conclusión: La tiroidectomía transoral endoscópica por abordaje vestibular (TOETVA) representa, entre las cirugías de mínimo acceso, la única que potencialmente está totalmente libre de cicatrices, ofreciendo seguridad y resultados comparables con otras técnicas.
Introduction: For about 20 years we has been conducting several techniques of minimal access thyroidectomy, supported by videoendoscopy towards replacing the classic Kocher incision. Multiple approaches have been described, however none has achieved completely avoid scarring. Witzel in 2008 introduced the transoral technique and in 2015 Anuwong published the first series performed in humans. Case presentation: This is a 47 years old patient who have been diagnosed by FNAB follicular lesion in the left lobe of her thyroid. Discussion: The patient underwent a left hemithyroidectomy + intraoperative frozen study that was negative, transoral endoscopic approach was performed with a time of 280 min and 40 ml bleeding. No complications occurred intraoperatively or postoperatively. Conclusion: Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) represents between the minimum access surgeries the only one that is potentially totally free of scars, offering safety and comparable results with other techniques.

Objective To analyze the advantages and disadvantages of minimally invasive video -assisted thyroidectomy(MIVAT)and totally endoscopic thyroidectomy (TET).Methods The study included 70 patients undergoing MIVAT and TET at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital from Jan . 2012 to Dec.2012.46 patients undergoing MIVAT(MIVAT group)and 24 patients undergoing TET(TET group) were analyzed retrospectively .Data of gender,age,operative data,intraoperative and postoperative complications , length of stay , feelings of patients and cosmetic effect were collected and analyzed .MIVAT and TET were com-pared in terms of safety ,trauma and cosmetic effect .Results ①About safety:no permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve(RLN)palsy and parathyroid injury occurred in either group .One case in MIVAT group and no case in TET group was converted to open surgery (2.2%vs 0%,P>0.05) .②About trauma:the intraoperative blood loss and postoperative drainage amount in the MIVAT group were significantly less than those in the TET group ( P 0.05).③About cosmetic effect:the 2 groups had similar patient satisfaction index .Conclusions The study shows similar results in safety and trauma .The 2 approaches are both safe and valid .Patients using the two ap-proaches are equally satisfied with the cosmetic effect .
