Abstract
Introduction: Operations due to benign and malignant thyroid neoplasms constitute a significant percentage of operations in general and oncological surgery wards. Therefore, unsurprisingly, better and better methods are being sought to avoid the occurrence of two major complications after those operations, i.e. laryngeal nerve palsy and hypoparathyroidism and new minimally invasive accesses. M aterial and methods: Authors searched MEDLINE database using the following search terms: modern technologies AND/ OR thyroid surgery AND/OR intermittent neuromonitoring AND/OR continuous neuromonitoring AND/OR parathyroid preservation AND/OR transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy AND/OR TOETVA. Results: The paper discusses the following new techniques of thyroid surgery with particular focus on limitations: neuromonitoring, narrowband imaging, fluorescence angiography and transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy by vestibular approach. Conclusions: Some of the new techniques are highly clinically useful. Their use can become a routine element of standard thyroidectomy.
