CUELLO, Natalia L; GENTILE, Sergio C  and  FERNANDEZ RANVIER, Gustavo. First transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach in Argentina. Rev. argent. cir. [online]. 2019, vol.111, n.4, pp.284-288. ISSN 2250-639X.

A 53-year-old female patient with a 40-mm nodule in the left thyroid lobe underwent surgery using the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) because she was particularly interested in the cosmetic results. She evolved with excellent postoperative outcome. We review the literature dealing with this approach and report the first case in our country.
