Abstrakt:	Introduction: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of endoscopic hemithyroidectomy (EH) performed via the modified unilateral axillo-breast approach (UABA) in patients with lactating and/or large ptotic breasts. Methods: Between 2019 and 2021, we studied the records of twenty-three eligible female patients with lactating and/or large ptotic breasts who were presented with benign unilateral thyroid nodule (s) and who were treated by EH using modified UABA at Mansoura University Oncology Center or Meet Ghamr oncology center. The demographic data, clinicopathological parameters, operative and the esthetic outcomes were collected and analyzed. Results: Nine patients (39%) were lactating. All patients were obese (the mean BMI was 37.82 ± 4.37). All patients were having large breasts, cup C and D sizes (34% of patients & 56% of patients respectively), except for only two lactating female patients who had Cup B breasts. All patients were having ptotic breasts. The thyroid nodules greatest dimension ranged from 2.1-6 cm. All procedures were completed successfully endoscopically without any perioperative adverse events except for one case with temporary hoarseness of voice and three cases with axillary port sites cellulitis. The mean operative time was 83.26 ± 7.92 min. The patient satisfaction scores were high. Conclusion: EH via modified UABA in patients with lactating and/or large ptotic breasts is safe, feasible and effective procedure without adverse events. It should be offered to this group of patients as an alternative to conventional open thyroidectomy if there is no other contraindication. Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest None.
