Abstract

From July 2020 to March 2022, 3 patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and microgenia underwent transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery via a vestibular approach or a endoscopic lateral neck dissection via the breast and transoral approaches with chin silastic augmentation genioplasty performed concurrently. Image documentation, patient satisfaction, complications and other factors such as demographics and clinicopathologic details were recorded. None of the patients developed major complications and there were no complications such as infection or displacement of the implant. All patients were satisfied with the cosmetic outcomes. Despite the study being limited to these 3 selected patients with PTC and microgenia, the follow‑up to our initial description of the new technique established its safety and efficacy.
