Abstract
Thyroid and parathyroid disorders constitute a significant portion of endocrine surgical pathology, requiring precise and minimally invasive management to optimize patient outcomes. Advances in surgical technology and techniques, including intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM), minimally invasive procedures and interdisciplinary collaboration, have revolutionized the treatment of these disorders. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of using advanced surgical techniques, including IONM and minimally invasive approaches, and to assess the impact of collaborative efforts between Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) and Surgery departments on patient outcomes in the management of thyroid and parathyroid disorders. A retrospective analysis of 75 patients who underwent thyroid or parathyroid surgery was conducted, focusing on the use of IONM, minimally invasive surgical approaches and collaborative techniques. Post‐operative outcomes, including complication rates and recovery times, were analyzed. The findings were compared with existing literature to contextualize the advancements and outcomes observed in our study. Intraoperative Nerve Monitoring: Utilized in 60% of surgeries, leading to a significant reduction in recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries. Minimally Invasive Approaches: Adopted in 55% of cases, resulting in shorter hospital stays, less post‐operative pain and better cosmetic outcomes. Post‐Operative Outcomes: Demonstrated a high rate of full recovery (73.3%), with minor complications in 25.3% of patients and major complications in 1.3%. Advanced surgical techniques, including the use of IONM and minimally invasive procedures, in conjunction with interdisciplinary collaboration, significantly improve the outcomes of thyroid and parathyroid surgery. Continued innovation and research are essential for further advancement in the field.
