Abstract:Objective To investigate the feasibility and saftey of endoscopic surgery for hyperthyroidism.Methods 34 patients with hyperthyroidism performed with endoscopic surgery were retrospectively reviewed, then analyze the operative process, the volume of intraoperative hemorrhage and method of gland excision.Results There was no patients switching to open surgery in this group. The operation time was (128.9 ± 28.6) min, the volume of intraoperative blood loss was (75.3 ± 28.4) mL. There were 6 (17.6%) patients whose blood loss more than 200 mL and 2 (5.9%) patients developed parathyroid hormone. Glandular segmentation was adpoted in 27 (79.4%) patients.Conclusion Carefully handling with the intraoperative bleeding and mastering the skills of glandular segmentation through learning curve, endoscopic surgery could be safe for hyperthyroidism.
