Abstract
Background: Many patients requiring thyroidectomy are concerned regarding scar caused by incision in the neck. Various techniques of minimally invasive thyroidectomy, including endoscopic and robotic thyroidectomy, have been developed to address this issue. TOETVA has been successfully used in the recent past worldwide, with few complications and excellent results. Moreover, recent literature comparing TOETVA with open thyroidectomy has confirmed that the TOETVA is performed as safely as traditional open thyroidectomy, requires only conventional laparoscopic instruments, and avoids incisional scars; thus, the approach may be an option for selected patients.
