Abstract:

The history of thyroid surgery reflects evolution of surgery itself, butshifting focus towards less invasive techniques has resulted in the emergence ofminimally invasive approaches for the thyroid compartment. Objectives: This study wasconducted to determine the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive flaplessthyroidectomy (MIFT) in comparison to conventional thyroidectomy in management ofbenign thyroid disease. Methods: This study included 60 patients with benign thyroiddisease, indicated for thyroidectomy and admitted to Department of Surgery, AlexandriaUniversity Main Hospital, Egypt, from September 2015 to February 2016.

Keywords:

Minimally invasive, MIFT, incision length, thyroidectomy.
