First European course on transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery (TOETVA) in Verona, Italy (with Dr. Anunwong who developed this method).
Visiting Police General Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand where this operation has been developed.
Without any incision in the neck (=scarless), thyroid surgery is performed minimally invasive (=endoscopically by using a camera) through small incisions in the oral cavity. This kind of surgery is suitable for most patients with small thyroid glands and/or small nodules (<4 cm).
A new surgical technique (called “TOETVA”- technique) allows removal of the thyroid gland through the oral cavity without any visible scars on the neck.
During a symposium in Potsdam, October 12th, I was able to discuss this promising technique with colleagues from all over the world.
Is surgery always necessary in patients with Grave’s disease and orbitopathy? A randomized controlled trial, performed at the Medical University of Vienna wants to answer this question.
