Overview
The past several decades have seen rapid developments in videolaparoscopic surgery. Minimally invasive methods can now be used even for endocrine surgeries. Minimally invasive thyroid procedures can be broken down into three groups: endoscopic access from a small lateral incision in the neck, video assisted methods using a central incision - MIVAT and a range of endoscopic methods. Indications for minimally invasive procedures are precisely defined and, MIVAT consequently represents a safe method that involve minimal tissue trauma, a short period of hospitalisation and that offers significant cosmetic benefits for the patient.
Key words:
minimally invasive thyroidectomy, minimally invasive video assisted thyroidectomy – MIVAT, harmonic scalpel.
