Thank you to France 5 and the whole team at the Magazine de la Santé for rebroadcasting a report on thyroidectomy without a visible neck scar. This technique is called TOETVA, from the English “Trans Oral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Anterior”, because we pass through the anterior vestibule, that is, behind the lower lip just in front of the gum.
This technique gives very good cosmetic results and patients are very satisfied. It makes it possible to avoid an unsightly scar on the neck.
