Thyroid gland surgery is a day-to-day practice for many specialist surgeons, while patients are increasingly looking for treatment options with more interesting cosmetic results.

Transvestibular thyroidectomy, also known as scarless surgery, can be performed with the aid of common laparoscopic materials or even a surgical robot.

In this way, it can be reproduced in several centers with less structure, which is why it has spread so quickly. It is the only remote access thyroidectomy technique that can be called "Scarless", because the others have skin scars hidden outside the anterior cervical region, while transvestibular thyroidectomy is performed with three small incisions in the labial mucosa.

There are currently more than 1,500 patients operated on using this technique in our country, where it is already practiced in most states. In addition to 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, Baylor College of Medicine, among others.

The technique is also performed routinely 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 essential, especially with the use of anatomical specimens. This course brings together the experience of renowned professionals, pioneers of the technique in Brazil, with the possibility of combining the practice of skills with anatomical parts, preparing the student for real surgery and providing a unique experience.

METHODOLOGY

The training is theoretical and practical, and covers the main aspects of endoscopic thyroidectomy, such as the preoperative period, the step-by-step technique and the postoperative period. With an active learning methodology, the course is based on interactive discussions and practical activities to develop skills.
The main aim of the training is to introduce students to the world of endoscopic thyroidectomy, developing their skills and preparing them to offer this option to their patients, as well as properly selecting the first cases and overcoming the learning curve, with the help of an experienced surgeon.

My name is Wagner Rosso and I'm a head and neck surgeon. Today, I'm attending the Transoral Thyroidectomy Surgery Course. I was very surprised by the quality of the teachers and the excellent facilities. We were able to get a lot out of the course, which was clear and objective. I highly recommend attending.

Head and Neck Surgeon in São Paulo - SP

My name is Pilar Schneeberger, I came from Temuco in Chile to take the Transoral Thyroidectomy Immersion course on March 1 and 2, 2024, and the overall experience was very good, the course has a theoretical part and also a simulation part and an experience part on animal cadavers and the truth is that it allows us to do everything from the basic training to perform endoscopic surgery to the practice that allowed us to simulate surgery on people with all the technology, with the advanced technique that leaves us completely qualified and trained to be able to implement this surgery in the future in our hospital.
