Abstract EN
We evaluated the invasiveness of breast approach endoscopic thyroidectomy (BAET) carried out by surgeon very experienced in this procedure.
Twenty-four patients who underwent BAET and 19 patients who underwent conventional thyroidectomy were the study population.
Postoperative pain was assessed by a visual analog scale (VAS).
The values 2, 12, and 24 h after surgery were significantly lower in the BAET group than those in the conventional group.
Serum IL-6 and CRP levels were measured by an ELISA preoperatively and at 2, 12, 24 and 48 h after operation.
Their values increased significantly after both procedures when compared to preoperative levels with significant differences between the two groups detected at the 24-hour and 48-hour time points.
Subjective and objective evidence supported the notion that BAET could become a minimally invasive procedure if the surgeon gained sufficient experience.
