Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach (TOETVA)

Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA)1 is a novel procedure with advantages like no visible scar, minimal invasive dissection and access to the whole of the thyroid gland. A 36-year-old female patient presented with a complaint of swelling of the right thyroid gland for the last 2-3 months. FNAC was suggestive of a benign lesion. Hence, a diagnosis of a right thyroid nodule was made and the patient underwent a transoral endoscopic right hemi thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA). The postoperative period was uneventful. HPE was reported as a Colloid Nodule. TOETVA is a good approach for benign thyroid nodules in patients who choose to avoid a neck scar. TOETVA provides patients with good cosmesis and is also safe.
