What is Combination of treatments with transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) for Graves’ disease about?

## Abstract Although the success rates of non-surgical treatments for Graves’ disease such as antithyroid medication and radioiodine ablation were good, there were still failure of treatments or intolerance for some patients. Traditional thyroid surgery could treat these patients but result in unaesthetic neck scars. Herein, we report the preliminary results of our combination of treatments with the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach for Graves’ disease. A retrospective review of patients who underwent the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach for the treatment of different sizes of goiters between January 2019 and December 2020 was performed. The demographic and clinical data of patients were collected. All patients were followed up for > 12 months. Each patient’s goiter size was determined using four grades—from 0 to 3. In total, 14 female patients receiving the combination treatment with > 1 year of follow-up and a median (range) age of 35 (20–48) years at surgery were included. There were two, three, four, and five patients with grade 0, 1, 2, and 3 goiters, respectively. The median (range) intraoperative blood loss was higher in grade 3 pat
