ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the safety and feasibility of endoscopic thyroidectomies through modified chest and mammary areola approach.@*METHOD@#We retrospectively analyzed 122 cases of endoscopic thyroidectomies through a modified chest and mammary areola approach without extensive dissection of thoracic flap. The information about general status, surgical procedures and techniques, complications, etc. were summarized and discussed.@*RESULT@#One hundred and twenty-one cases were operated successfully while 1 case was converted to video-assisted thyroidectomy through infraclavicular approach. The maximum diameter of the mass was (2.05 ± 1.06) cm, mean operation time was (88.61 ± 27.87) min, the operative blood loss was (31.23 ± 16.14) ml, duration of postoperative drainage was (3.54 ± 0.88) d and overall drainage volume was (139.09 ± 95.93) ml. Parathyroid glands were detected in specimens of 9 cases while no case of permanent postoperative hypocalcaemia was displayed. 6 cases of hoarseness were developed. One case experienced conversion surgery, all the others obtained satisfactory cosmetic result. All cases were followed up for 0-24 months without relapse and metastasis of the disease.@*CONCLUSION@#Endoscopic thyroidectomy via a modified chest and breast areola approach can facilitated the procedure and avoid extensive dissection of thoracic flap, and proved to be safe and effective.
