Minimally Invasive Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery

Definition

Minimally invasive thyroid and parathyroid surgery is a surgical technique that involves the use of smaller incisions and specialized instruments to remove all or part of the thyroid or parathyroid glands with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. This approach results in less postoperative pain, faster recovery, and reduced scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
