Thyroid gland surgery represents the day-to-day life of many specialist surgeons, while, increasingly, patients are seeking treatment options with more interesting cosmetic results.
The transvestibular thyroidectomy, also called scarless surgery, can be performed with the help of common laparoscopic materials, or even the surgical robot.
In this way it is reproducible in several centers with less structure, and because of this, it has spread rapidly. It is the only remote access thyroidectomy technique that can be called "Scarless or truly scarless, because the others have skin scars hidden outside the anterior cervical region, while the transvestibular thyroidectomy is performed with three small incisions in the labial mucosa.
Currently there are already more than 1500 patients operated on using this technique in our country, where it is already practiced in most states of the federation. Besides the East, where the technique is already well established, several American centers already offer this option to their patients, such as Johns Hopkins, the University of Chicago, Mount Sinai, and Baylor College of Medicine, among others.
The technique is also routinely performed in centers in other Latin American countries, such as Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Venezuela. To learn and perform the technique safely, hands-on training is fundamental, especially with the use of anatomical parts. This course brings the experience of renowned professionals, pioneers of the technique in Brazil, with the possibility of joining the practice of skills with anatomical parts preparing the student for real surgery and providing a unique experience.
The course has the differential of allowing the immersion of the student in the technique of transvestibular endoscopic thyroidectomy with hands on inanimate models and anatomical specimens, with the help of internationally renowned instructors.
The Immersion in Transvestibular Thyroidectomy presents a new concept of immersion course blending didactic preparatory activities with an intense practical part that includes: dry lab for developing skills in video surgery, practice in simulators and anatomical parts for training the transvestibular endoscopic access.
With instructors who have a lot of experience in the technique, the course really aims to prepare the student to perform the technique in real cases. With small groups and 2 students per station, the student experience is the best possible, fixing fundamental concepts and practical skills needed to perform the technique.
