Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To summarize the clinical experience of endoscopic thyroidectomy via suprasternal approach. METHODS Endoscopic thyroidectomy via suprasternal approach was performed in 35 patients with ultrasonic scalpel. RESULTS Operations were successfully performed in 35 patients. The mean operation times were 130 (105～190) minutes in 24 cases with subtotal lobectomy and 4 case with total lobectomy, 60 (50~70) minutes in 2 cases with isthmectomy, 228 (185～270) minutes in 2 case with bilateral subtotal lobectomy, 163 (140～215) minutes in 3 case with subtotal lobectomy and the contralateral ademona resection. The bleeding during operation was 5 to 40ml and the average hospital stay time was 4 (3～5) days. CONCLUSION Endoscopic thyroidectomy via suprasternal approach is a safe way with good cosmetic value.
