J Coll Physicians Surg Pak Jan ;12(8):498-9.

A new approach in thyroidectomy to treat the thyroid pathologies is reported here. By this new technique, a total of 20 cases were operated with good outcome. The postoperative complications were seen in 05 patients. One patient developed transient recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy and hypertrophic scar in 4 cases. This technique can well be utilized for middle aged and elderly patients having unilateral benign goitre and for ablation of remnants of thyroid gland in malignant disorders. This is a review article.
