Figure 1. — Photographs of three women who underwent thyroidectomy due to papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (a) 12 and (b) 8 years previously by the “conventional” approach and (c) 2 years previously by the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach. Eight years after the primary surgery in patient (a), thyroid cancer skin metastasis was identified (arrow). The cosmetic outcomes are obvious and can be compared in this figure, but the long-term oncological outcomes cannot yet be evaluated.
