    • Abstract:
      Transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery is known to be an innovative, effective and safe procedure, which is offered as a scarless technique to patients strongly motivated to have a good aesthetic result. However, evaluating the complications of this procedure, what we know is that only a few of these are related to thyroid surgery (bleeding, permanent or transient hypocalcemia, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, seroma, surgical site infection) since more than 70% are specific of the transoral endoscopic technique such as: zygomatic bruising, chin flap perforation, oral commissure tearing, dimpling on the chin and mental nerve (MN) injury.
