Saito Y, Ikeda Y, Takami H, Abdelhamid Ahmed AH, Nakao A, Katoh H, Ho K, Tomita M, Sato M, Tolley NS, Randolph GW. A scoping review of approaches used for remote-access parathyroidectomy: A contemporary review of techniques, tools, pros and cons. Head Neck 2022; 44:1976-1990. [PMID: 35467046 DOI: 10.1002/hed.27068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2021] [Revised: 03/24/2022] [Accepted: 04/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
After our coauthors described the first remote-access parathyroidectomy (RAP) series in 2000, several other approaches were developed. No systematic review has been performed to classify and evaluate RAP techniques. We performed a literature search using PubMed and Cochrane Library (CENTRAL). A total of 71 studies met our inclusion/exclusion criteria. RAP can be categorized into five approaches: (1) endoscopic and robotic axillary, (2) anterior chest, (3) transoral, (4) retroauricular, and (5) a combination of these approaches. The limited data in the literature suggest that the cure rates and safety of RAP are in no way inferior to those of open parathyroidectomy. Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages, and the recommendations for the selection of each approach are listed. The selection of approach methods might depend on the surgeon's experience and familiarity and the patient's preference and disease status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the evolution and recent series on transoral endoscopic vestibular approach thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy (TOET/PVA). DATA SOURCES PubMed, Google Scholar. REVIEW METHODS Review of the available English literature. RESULTS TOET/PVA may offer several advantages over other remote access thyroidectomy approaches and has been adopted by many centers worldwide with excellent success rates. Indications include benign disease and early thyroid cancer patients. Complication rate is comparable to the trans-cervical approach. The suggested framework has been validated in recent studies and its feasibility confirmed. CONCLUSION TOET/PVA has now been used to treat thousands of patients worldwide due to low cost, short learning curve and excellent cosmetic outcomes. Further studies will be necessary to demonstrate oncologic non-inferiority and also the true value that is added by the approach.
