A suspension surgical space construction method involving a gasless transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach: a single-center experience.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to summarize and explore how to establish a good surgical space via a gasless transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) to facilitate smooth surgical progress.

Methods

This study was conducted between January 2022 and December 2023. The study involved 281 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma who underwent gasless TOETVA at The First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China. The suspension method was used to establish the surgical space during the operation. The key steps and difficulties of surgical space construction were summarized, and the clinicopathological characteristics and surgical complications of the patients were analyzed.

Results

The mean surgical duration was 167.86 ± 2
