What is the Ideal Approach for Thyroidectomy in a Given Patient? Algorithmic Approach Based on Institutional Experience

1. Abstract

1.1. Introduction: Thyroidectomy can be performed by open or wide array of endoscopic techniques. But, the availability of plethora of options led to confusion amongst patients and surgeons in selecting appropriate technique. In this context, we analysed our experience with specific emphasis on deducing an algorithm on ideal technique for a given patient.
