Assuta surgeons perform advanced endoscopic technique to resect the thyroid gland through the mouth without external incisions
The thyroid gland is responsible for regulating the proper functioning of the body.
The following patient conditions often require surgery:
How is the thyroid surgery performed?
The surgeon performs the operation using a small incision inside the lower lip, inserting a tiny
camera and two tools with which to help perform the resection. No external incisions are
made; all the surgical steps are performed through the patient’s mouth.The procedure is safe
and effective, and the internal surgery offers an aesthetic advantage because there are no
external incisions. The surgical wound is small, which facilitates recovery.
Potential complications of endoscopic thyroid surgery without external neck incisions
The complications of surgery correlate with the size of the resection and are similar to neck surgery.
The endoscopic method of thyroid surgery may reduce the risk of patient hoarseness.
