Abstract
Endoscopic techniques were applied to parathyroid and thyroid surgery starting in the 1990s. Parathyroidectomy was the first minimally invasive endoscopic operation performed in the neck. After various attempts with fully endoscopic techniques, in 1997, the minimally invasive video-assisted parathyroidectomy (MIVAP) was described. The technique eliminated the need for CO2 insufflation and had the great advantage of the use of the endoscope, essential to visualize the small structures of the neck. MIVAP was so sound and effective that the same technique was almost immediately used for thyroid surgery (MIVAT). When compared to conventional thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy techniques, these video-assisted procedures provide patients improved postoperative course and better cosmetic results.
