Conventional thyroid surgery include incision in the neck crease and taking out the part or entire thyroid gland depending upon the etiology. Thyroid problems are more common among women, so visible neck scar may have negative impact on women psychology and cosmesis. With development of new technologies, approaches have evolved for thyroid surgery as well with intent to achieve best cosmetic outcome. Few newer approaches for thyroid surgery include:
Trans-axillary Thyroidectomy : in which ports are placed in axilla and gland is removed .
Breast-Axillary Hybrid approach: port are placed in axilla and at breast areola.
Trans-oral approach: ports are placed inside oral cavity at gingio-buccal sulcus.

Endoscopic thyroidectomy is also called scarless thyroidectomy because there is no scar in the neck or any other visible site. Surgery is done through 2 – 3 small incisions in axilla and 1 small incision around the areola of the breast. In case of benign thyroid nodule, when the size of nodule is less than 4 cm, surgery can be done through endoscopic method. This is a very safe and excellent surgery from cosmetic point of view, in experienced hands.

The main advantage of minimal invasive thyroid surgery is lack of visible neck scar which may have negative impact on the confidence level of patient. Certain vessel sealing devices like Ultrasonic device or harmonic device are now available which has made surgical intervention almost sutureless.
