腔镜甲状腺切除术首先由Huscher等[1]于1997年报道,由于该手术方法比传统的手术方法有明显的优点,如手术图像放大、局部图像清楚、用超声刀切割甲状腺组织和甲状腺血管无出血、喉返神经损伤机会减少、裸露的颈前区不会留下难看的手术瘢痕等而深受患者特别是年轻女患者的欢迎,经 Endoscopic thyroidectomy was first reported by Huscher et al. [1] in 1997. This surgical method has obvious advantages over traditional surgical methods such as enlarged surgical images, clear local images, and the use of an ultrasonic scalpel to cut thyroid tissue and thyroid vessels. Bleeding, diminished chances of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, and the absence of unsightly surgical scars in the exposed front cervical region are well received by patients, especially young female patients.
