ABSTRACT
La tiroidectomía endoscópica transoral por abordaje vestibular (TOETVA) constituye un procedimiento novedoso y mínimamente invasivo, libre de cicatrices visibles y que presenta resultados alentadores en cuanto a la rápida recuperación y menor dolor posoperatorio. Consiste en realizar la tiroidectomía a través de su orificio natural, empleando tres puertos en el área oral vestibular y llevando a cabo una disección cuidadosa hasta la muesca esternal y los bordes de ambos músculos esternocleidomastoideos. El objetivo es describir las diferentes implicaciones anestésicas que conlleva esta técnica quirúrgica, dado que la evidencia publicada hasta la fecha en la literatura es muy limitada. Se considera esencial la monitorización del nervio laríngeo recurrente mediante tubo endotraqueal con electromiografía para garantizar su identificación e integridad, así como la utilización de otros monitores como el TOF-watch o el índice biespectral para asegurar una adecuada profundidad anestésica y un óptimo nivel de relajación muscular.(AU)

The objective of this article is to describe the different anesthetic implications that this surgical technique entails, given that the evidence published to date in the literature is very limited. It is considered essential to control the recurrent laryngeal nerve using an endotracheal tube with electromyography to ensure its identification and integrity, as well as the use of other monitors such as the TOF watch or the bispectral index to ensure adequate anesthetic depth and an optimal level of muscle relaxation.(AU)
