Introduction

Since 1996 with improvement of endoscopic instrumentation several novel minimally invasive techniques have been developed to perform thyroid operations. The advantages of endoscopic procedure includes better magnification of anatomy, improved illumination of the operation field, earlier recovery, better pain control, and better cosmetic results. Yet it’s performed rarely and only by few surgeons around the world, as it has some limitations like the size of the nodule.

Case Presentation

We herein present a patient with right-sided thyroid cold nodule and follicular presentation on fine needle aspiration (FNA), which successfully underwent endoscopic thyroidectomy through an axillary incision in Hazrat Rasul Akram hospital and tolerated the procedure well without any complications and was discharged with a very good condition.

Conclusions

If the indications and contraindications of minimally invasive thyroidectomy are taken into account, it seems to be a safe procedure and regarding the benefits of this procedure, it's recommended that surgeons pay more attention to this newly developed technique.
