Abstract: Minimally invasive surgery is increasingly employed in the treatment of thyroid diseases. Several minimal access approaches to the thyroid gland have been described. Minimally invasive surgery is rapidly expanding its role in almost all the surgical sub-specialties. There is also a growing demand for minimally invasive approaches, as nowadays, patients are more concerned about cosmesis in addition to their original surgery. Although its role in thyroid surgery has already been proven earlier, it is not yet accepted as a routine approach amongst many thyroid surgeons. The commonly performed surgeries have been endoscopic lobectomies. We have done one such procedure in our institution with a successful outcome.
