Abstract

 The natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), was performed for the first time by Dr. Witzel in 2008, introducing the transoral approach for the thyroid disease on cadavers and pigs. In the year 2016, Dr. Anuwong published the first series of cases in humans by vestibular approach. In it, it is shown the case of a 37-year-old patient, who attended the consultation presenting a previous two-month-old cervical tumor. Thyroid ultrasound with polynodular goiter. Fna: Follicular hyperplasia in left and right lobe Lesion. It is decided to perform a transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy by vestibular approach. The intervention duration was 180 minutes, blood loss was 20 ml. Slight pain and hospitalization time, 36 hours. The present work intends to develop this technique and the experience in our first case of total thyroidectomy in benign thyroid pathology.
