Abstract

This study evaluates early outcomes of transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) in the treatment of the thyroid tumor. A retrospective study was conducted on 41 patients with thyroid tumor who underwent TOETVA at Thanhhoa oncology hospital from May 2020 to April 2023. The mean age was 30.9 ± 9.2; 36/41 were female patients (87.8%). Of these patients, 26 presented with benign nodules and 15 had papillary thyroid carcinoma. The average tumor size was 20.4 ± 10.7mm. Total thyroidectomy and central lymph node dissection: 3 cases (7.3%); lobectomy and isthmusectomy: 4 cases (9.8%); lobectomy: 32 cases (78%); and isthmusectomy: 2 cases (4.9%); The mean operating time was 122 ± 54 minutes. Median blood loss was 19.0 ± 12.5 mL. Mean visual analog scale measurements were 2.6 ± 1.0. Temporary hoarseness was found in 4.9% of cases, hypocalcemia was found in 2.4% of cases; 11 patients (26.8%) had temporary chin numbness. Conclusion: Early outcomes of TOETVA was shown to be safe and effective. It is the only approach that avoids any cutaneous scarring.
