Excerpt

The increase in demand for cosmesis and surgical excellence resulting in the improvement of postoperative quality of life has led to the development of remote-access thyroid surgery. Amongst various approaches for remote-access thyroidectomy, the recently developed transoral approach has gained huge popularity because of the advantages of a short distance from the oral vestibule to the neck, resulting in less tissue dissection than others such as the midline approach with direct access to bilateral lobes of thyroid gland and central compartment, and excellent cosmesis, as incisions are made in the lower lip mucosa, so the neck is truly scarless.1 …
