No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators have previously proposed a prediction model for difficult transoral and submental thyroidectomy through a retrospective study. In order to better promote transoral and submental endoscopic approach for thyroid surgery and to set up an appropriate training course, the investigators aim to refine the procedure through a prospective study.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Modified TOaST with caudal linea alba preservation

The modified procedure consists of cranial limited opening of the linea alba cervicalis with intentional preservation of the caudal linea alba-strap muscle fascial bridge. Bilateral symmetric suspension of the strap muscles is performed to maintain a centered operative window for thyroid lobectomy and, when indicated, ipsilateral central compartment lymph node dissection. If exposure is inadequate, the caudal linea alba may be further opened for safety.
