Objective: To report the development of atechnique for minimally invasive thyroid lobectomy.Method: The procedure was accepted by 200 patientswith a nodule of the lobe of the thyroid. We performed hemithyroidectomys thyroidectomys through a 2-3 cm low-collar horizontal skin incision by conventionalinstrumentation. Results: The recurrent laryngealnerve and the parathyroid glands were easily identifiedand preserved. The amount of bleeding ranged from 5 to50 ml (mean 15 ml). Mean Operation time was 52.2minutes (ranged 32 to 80 minutes). No complicationoccurred. Mean postoperative stay was 5.5 days(ranged 4 to 7 days). The incision provided excellentcometic results because the small and lower incisionswere completely hidden by clothing collar. Conclusion: The above technique is feasible, safe, minimallyinvasive, less time and cost consuming and cosmetical.
