Transaxillary Thyroidectomy

ABSTRACT Various endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET) techniques ranging from video-assisted, total endoscopic, transaxillary endoscopic, robotic and chest wall approaches have been reported for thyroid surgery. They can be broadly divided in to gas-dependent and gasless approaches. Here, we describe our technique of gasless transaxillary thyroidectomy with synergistic benefits of open and endoscopic thyroidectomies. How to cite this article Bhargav PRK.

Abstract Background Compared with conventional open surgery, endoscopic thyroidectomy via the oral vestibular approach (ETVOA) and endoscopic thyroidectomy via the areola approach (ETAA) avoided scarring of the skin, which may help patients achieve a better quality of life (QOL). However, the benefit of the QOL from this technique has not been adequately investigated, therefore this study compared the QOL outcomes between ETVOA and ETAA. Methods 131 patients were enrolled in this study. ETAA surgery and ETVOA surgery were performed in 74 patients and 57 patients, respectively. These patients were followed up at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks, and their QOL was evaluated using a thyroid surgery-specific questionnaire and a short-form health survey (SF-36). Results There were no differences in clinical characteristics such as gender, age, body mass index (BMI), and tumor size between the two groups. The volume of intraoperative blood loss, cost of hospitalization, and complications between the two procedures showed no differences. Compared with ETAA, ETVOA has a longer operation time, no drainage, and shorter hospital stay. In the QOL questionnaire, several parameters in ETVOA were better. The satisfaction scores of patients undergoing ETVOA were higher. In addition, the cosmetic satisfaction in patients who received ETOVA was significantly better than that of patients who underwent ETAA. The degree of neck movement disorder in patients with ETVOA was milder. Patients who received ETVOA had higher score on the SF-36. Conclusions The trans-oral endoscopic approach can acquire better cosmetic results and achieved high-level QOL.

Two patients (one male and one female) recently under went total thyroidectomies using a standard laparoscope at the department of surgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka. Three ports (one mid line and two laterals) were employed and a harmonic scalpel was used for the dissection. To the best of our knowledge, there was no report of endoscopic total thyroidectomy from Bangladesh. Both patients were fed on the first post operative day. They were discharged between the 3rd and 4th post operative days. There was no hypocalcaemia but one patient developed temporary unilateral vocal cord palsy. Endoscopic thyroidectomy appears to be a technically feasible patient friendly modality of treatment for the selected cases of thyroid swelling in an experienced hand with excellent out come.
