Possible complications
General
• Bleeding
• Infection
• Hoarseness of voice
• Surrounding organ injury
Specific
• Chin numbness
• Lip asymmetry
Advantages
• No visible scar
• Minimal skin area dissected, less
bleeding, less infection, less
thickening
Disadvantages
• New technique
• Not for huge goitres
• Potential contamination by oral
cavity bacteria
• Numbness at chin
Patients who are not suitable
• Previous radiotherapy to neck
• Previous neck surgery
• Goitre extends into chest
• Goitre stuck to other organs
• Needs extensive lymph node dissection
• Nodule > 6cm
?
Conclusion
• Goitres are common
• Beware of red flag symptoms that suggest malignancy
• Surgery had always been a main treatment option for goitres
• Transoral thyroidectomy avoids a visible neck scar
• Transoral thyroidectomy is the next frontier in thyroid surgery
