| Popis: | The transoral approach and the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) are remote access approaches for endoscopic thyroidectomy. Both follow a symmetric design and use CO2 insufflation to maintain the working space. The outcome differences between the techniques are rarely compared in the literature. All patients who underwent endoscopic transoral (n = 72) and BABA (n = 63) thyroidectomy between October 2018 and August 2020 by a single surgeon were retrospectively reviewed. The following peri-operative data were collected and compared: operative time, blood loss, postoperative drainage amount, hospital stay, pain score, number of retrieved lymph nodes, and complications. Patients in the transoral group were younger (44.7 vs. 49.3 years, p = 0.022) and had smaller tumors (2.4 vs. 2.8 cm, p = 0.020) than those in the BABA group. The operative times were significantly longer in the transoral group than in the BABA group (lobectomy, 194.1 vs. 177.0 min, p = 0.026; total thyroidectomy, 246.0 vs. 214.3 min, p = 0.042). Nevertheless, the time difference became insignificant after completing the initial 20 cases of transoral thyroidectomy. The drainage fluid collected after the surgery was serosanguinous, and a lower drainage volume was observed in the transoral group than that in the BABA group (64.9 vs. 78.5 ml, p = 0.017). However, there was no significant difference regarding the blood loss, hospital stay, postoperative pain score, and lymph nodes retrieved. The rate of postoperative complications, such as hypoparathyroidism and vocal cord palsy was comparable between the two groups. Transoral approach and BABA are comparable with regard to surgical outcomes. Selected patients may choose either technique based on their preferences. |
