Transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery is known to be an innovative, effective and safe procedure, which is offered as a scarless technique to patients strongly motivated to have a good aesthetic result. However, evaluating the complications of this procedure, what we know is that only a few of these are related to thyroid surgery (bleeding, permanent or transient hypocalcemia, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, seroma, surgical site infection) since more than 70% are specific of the transoral endoscopic technique such as: zygomatic bruising, chin flap perforation, oral commissure tearing, dimpling on the chin and mental nerve (MN) injury.

Abstract
Transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery is known to be an innovative, effective and safe procedure, which is offered as a scarless technique to patients strongly motivated to have a good aesthetic result. However, evaluating the complications of this procedure, what we know is that only a few of these are related to thyroid surgery (bleeding, permanent or transient hypocalcemia, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, seroma, surgical site infection) since more than 70% are specific of the transoral endoscopic technique such as: zygomatic bruising, chin flap perforation, oral commissure tearing, dimpling on the chin and mental nerve (MN) injury.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
