Journal Title: Journal of Surgery : Concepts & Practice - Year 2023, Vol 28, Issue 6
Abstract
The incidence of thyroid tumors has been increasing recent years, the importance of quality of life has been more concerned in addition to radical treatment. Traditional open surgery has been unable to meet the needs of all patients. In recent years, the continuous innovation and vigorous development of minimally invasive techniques, including endoscopy, ablation, and robotics, have expanded the range of available surgical options. In this review, we summarized the advancements in minimally invasive surgery for thyroid tumors, focusing on how to select the most appropriate surgical approach based on the patient's condition and develop personalized treatment plans.
