Gasless endoscopic surgery was applied to a thyroidectomy. Compared with the previous method of endoscopic thyroidectomy, this method is superior in obtaining hemostasis and minimizing the possible complications of gas-insufflating surgery, such as a hypercapnia or massive subcutaneous emphysema. We successfully removed 37 thyroid tumors in 35 patients by gasless endoscopic surgery without any significant complications. No scars remained in the neck, and all patients were satisfied with the cosmetic results. Gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy is a safe and technically feasible alternative to conventional thyroidectomy for cases of benign thyroid tumors and has good cosmetic results.
