Abstract

Remote-access thyroidectomy techniques aim to address patient concerns regarding visible cervical scars but are often limited by cost, equipment, and learning curves. We describe a novel open technique thyroidectomy via an infraclavicular open scar-concealing approach that re-locates the incision to a clothing-concealed infraclavicular site while preserving the principles of conventional open thyroidectomy.
