Abstract

Abstract
The conventional (full thyroid exposure) technique of hemithyroidectomy normally requires a long collar incision, wide skin flaps on the anterior neck, a long midline opening of the strap muscles to provide exposure of one thyroid lobe, causing a wide neck scar and a variety of potential complications related to raising skin flaps and vertically opening the strap muscles. We developed a new surgical approach for a hemithyroidectomy, designed to minimize tissue trauma by obviating unnecessary tissue dissection, while maintaining adequate exposure, and named it hemi-exposure.
This study described this technique and the results compared with those achieved by full thyroid exposure technique.
