“…Although performing thyroid surgery by laparoscope has a benefit of less neck scarring, other skin, such as the axillary and anterior chest, will still scar. 34 RFA is a percutaneous, minimally invasive procedure under US monitoring. Because the outer diameter of the electrode is 1.2 mm, the RFA-related wound is tiny and patients fully recover in a few weeks.…”

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Nodular goiter is one of the most common benign lesions in thyroid nodule. The main treatment of the disease is still the traditional surgical resection, however there are many problems such as general anesthesia, surgical scar, postoperative thyroid or parathyroid function abnormalities, and high nodules recurrence rate in residual gland. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of 2 treatment methods, surgery and radiofrequency ablation, for the treatment of benign thyroid nodules.

“…Therefore surgeons from western countries favor endoscopic neck surgery through trans axillary approach, however trans axillary has several drawbacks including, lateral approach to thyroid, narrow working space, long scar in axilla and contralateral lobectomy requires ipsilateral approach [24]. In our series' most of our patients were satisfied with their nipple scar.…”

“…It is invested by the deep cervical fascia and often marginated by the anterior jugular veins on either side. LAN is the most frequent entrance for approaching goiter both in conventional open thyroidectomy and endoscopic thyroidectomy [39][40][41]. Larger goiters, strap muscle hypertrophy, excess fat, and asymmetrical anterior jugular veins preclude the identification of LAN due to distortion or deviation, especially in beginners.…”

Thyroid surgery is a prototype of operations requiring thorough knowledge of surgical anatomy. There are many vital and delicate anatomical structures such as recurrent laryngeal nerve, superior laryngeal nerve, parathyroid glands, and distinct fascial planes surrounding the thyroid gland. A protean range of pathologies such as goiter, nodules, thyroiditis, and malignancy distort or alter the location and course of these structures and planes. The distinct vascular supply and high vascularity of thyroid region challenges the surgeon's expertise. Several pathologies like malignancy, multinodularity, toxicity, and retrosternal extension further compounds this vascular aspect of surgery. Several structures of embryological importance such as pyramidal lobe, tubercle of Zuckerkandl, and ligament of Berry have decisive clinical implications in the surgical management of thyroid disorders. Surgeons attempting thyroidectomy need to have thorough knowledge of embryology and surgical anatomy of the thyroid gland. In this context, we highlight through a pictorial assay the embryological and anatomical aspects of the thyroid gland emphasizing on their clinical and surgical importance.
