Résumé
Surgery is an important means of clinical treatment of thyroid diseases. For thyroid diseases that have failed conservative treatment, surgical treatment is recommended. With the maturation of thyroid endoscopy technology and the increasing demand for cosmetic surgery, more and more thyroid endoscopic surgeries are being performed. Endoscopic thyroid surgery has the advantages of small incision, less bleeding, less postoperative complications, less scar tissue, and so on, which has been clinically recognized and approved. Although endoscopic surgery has achieved remarkable results in the treatment of thyroid diseases, how to effectively protect the parathyroid gland during surgery and avoid hypothyroidism is one of the difficulties that surgeons pay attention to. In this paper, the identification and protection techniques of the parathyroid gland during endoscopic thyroid surgery were analyzed, and summarized, in order to provide a reference for improving the protection techniques of the parathyroid gland during endoscopic thyroid surgery.
