OBJECTIVES: The objectives of the study were to investigate the improvement in operation time for thyroid surgery gained using a modified endobag and suture and to accelerate the learning process for novice endoscopic surgeons. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted between 2 June 2015 and 1 November 2018. Medical records of patients who underwent transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) were retrieved and analysed. Comparisons of operative time with or without the use of modified equipment were calculated by the unequal variance t-test in lobectomy and isthmectomy groups. RESULTS: Medical records of 102 patients (mean age: 39.1 years) were analysed. The size of thyroid nodule averaged 4.0 cm (range: 1.0-13.0 cm). TOETVA was applied for right lobectomy (57.8%), left lobectomy (34.3%), isthmectomy (3.9%) and total thyroidectomy (3.9%). Early in our experience, TOETVA required 168 min, whereas following the introduction of the modified endobag and extracorporeal suture, operative time was reduced to 30 min (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The use of modified equipment permitted shorter operation times. The time difference was not statistically significant but does represent a significant time-saving. The use of the modified equipment will simplify and speed up the learning process for novice endoscopic surgeons.
