The medical field has witnessed rapid progress due to the advancements in science and technology. Highly advanced machine and surgical equipment have been introduced to deliver better treatment and care to the people with fewer side effects. The improvements in surgical techniques have enabled medical practitioners to conduct minimally-invasive surgeries. One such recent development in thyroid surgery is Trans-axillary thyroid surgery.
Thyroid gland is a small butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that produces thyroid hormones. Trans-axillary thyroid surgery is a surgical procedure in which the incision is made in the underarm area. This surgery is mainly done to operate small thyroid growths and it cannot be used to remove larger growths. Though the conventional method of surgery is favored, many patients were dissatisfied with the exposure of neck scar. But now, with the introduction of Trans Axillary method scars in the neck can be avoided.
Advantages of Trans Axillary method in thyroid surgery.
Trans Axillary thyroid surgery is a safe and effective method with an aesthetic approach. The main aim of the surgery is to avoid an incision in the neck. In conventional thyroid surgery, the incision in the neck can be clearly seen and sometimes keloid scars may develop and worsen, especially in dark-skinned people.
In the Trans Axillary method, the surgery is done accessing the axilla or underarm to avoid the neck or chest wall incision. The scar occurred due to the surgery is hidden and remains under clothes. For the easy accessibility of thyroid gland, an incision of around four to five centimeters is made through the axilla (armpit).
Patients who go through Trans Axillary thyroid surgery may experience less soreness and discomfort ability around the incision site. The time of recovery is faster when compared to traditional thyroid surgery.
The patients with trans axillary surgery experience less pain with increased cosmetic satisfaction, and with lower chances of postoperative voice change, paraesthesia and swallowing discomfort.
