Various endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET) techniques ranging from video-assisted, total endoscopic, transaxillary endoscopic, robotic and chest wall approaches have been reported for thyroid surgery. They can be broadly divided in to gas-dependent and gasless approaches. Here, we describe our technique of gasless transaxillary thyroidectomy with synergistic benefits of open and endoscopic thyroidec...

BACKGROUND According to several studies investigating the relationship between muscle activity and electroencephalogram results, reversal of neuromuscular blockade (NMB) may affect depth of anesthesia indices. Therefore, we investigated the effect of pyridostigmine on these indices via spectral entropy. METHODS Fifty-six patients scheduled for thyroidectomy or parotidectomy were included in t...
