Pasos del Procedimiento

Pre-op: thyroid US + FNA + neck CT + vocal cord exam + dental clearance

General anesthesia + nasotracheal intubation

Three small intraoral incisions in lower lip vestibule (oral mucosa)

CO2 insufflation creates working space in subplatysmal plane

Endoscopic dissection to thyroid bed

Identification of recurrent laryngeal nerve + parathyroid glands

Thyroid lobectomy or total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection

Specimen retrieval through central port + mucosal closure (no neck scar)

What is TOETS?

Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy via the vestibular approach removes the thyroid gland through three small incisions inside the lower lip — leaving no visible scar anywhere on the body. Pioneered in Asia, it is ideal for patients prioritizing cosmesis, especially young women.

Why China?

High volume: PUMC, Tongren, Tianjin Cancer perform 500+ TOETS/year — the world's largest experience
Cost: $5,500-$9,500 vs. $20,000-$45,000 in the US
No visible scar: Eliminates the cervical scar of conventional thyroidectomy
RLN preservation: Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) standard

Who is a candidate?

Benign thyroid nodules ≤6cm
Differentiated thyroid cancer ≤2cm without extrathyroidal extension
Patients prioritizing cosmesis (especially young women)
BMI ≤30 (better access)
No prior neck surgery or radiation

Outcomes

Cosmetic satisfaction: 95%+. Permanent hypoparathyroidism: 1-2%. Permanent RLN injury: <1% at expert centers. Mental nerve neuropraxia (chin numbness): 5-10% (usually resolves in 3 months). Oncologic outcomes: equivalent to open surgery for selected DTC.
