Excerpt

In a retrospective single-surgeon cohort study, Han et al. [1] describe the functional outcomes after thyroid lobectomy via a transoral endoscopic vestibular approach (TOETVA) in comparison with the traditional open thyroidectomy for 100 consecutive patients. A number of validated subjective and objective measures were used to assess voice and swallowing outcomes, and follow-up was complete to three months and partially complete to 12 months. We commend the authors for their comprehensive approach to postoperative functional assessment and for their meticulous data collection. …
