Abstract: With ongoing innovations and evolution of Surg instruments and equipment, and the continuous refinement of operating Tech, endoscopic Surg has been on the center stage of modern medicine for many years. In recent years, the clinical use of endoscopic-assisted or endoscopic thyroidectomy has gradually gained prominence. The majority of patients with thyroid disease are young and middle-aged women. Conventional transverse incision in the neck for open thyroidectomy has cosmetic implications, and so endoscopic thyroidectomy has great clinical value. However, there are still varied opinions on the approach, Surg methods, indications, and other aspects of endoscopic thyroidectomy. This article reviews the Surg methods, indications, contraindications and complications of endoscopic thyroidectomy, and the new advances in this field.

Key words: Surgical approach, Thyroidectomy, Endoscope
