Abstract:
Trans-oral laporascopic thyroidectomy is a innovative technique that incoporated the concept of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery.Compare to other endoscopic thyroidectomy,transoral laporascopic thyroidectomy is characterised with no scar in the body surface,better cosmetic results and conforms to the concept of minimally invasive surgery.At present,trans-oral laporascopic thyroidectomy is still in the initial stages of clinical application and gains a great deal of attention from surgeons all over the world.It mainly includes oral bottom approach and oral vestibular approach.Proponents and researchers in this field have been attempting to use this technique for treatment of thyroid cancer and combine it with the robotics assisted surgical system.In the future,the indications and contraindications of trans-oral laporascopic thyroidectomy need to be further studied and evaluated.Complications and surgical procedures still have many issues need to be solved.
