This increase can be connected to both environmental factors and improved diagnostic techniques. Surgery remains the primary treatment for thyroid cancer. As a result, researchers are exploring alternative approaches to avoid visible scarring on the anterior neck. It has already been proven that a noticeable scar causes psychological and emotional discomfort in patients, leading to the development of anxiety and depressive disorders, especially in cases with young women and children. Over the past 30 years, minimally invasive thyroid surgery has undergone significant changes. Extracervical endoscopic approaches and their combinations, as well as transoral techniques for thyroid removal, are actively used in many advanced centers in Russia and all over the world. The most modern approach is the hybrid approach, which combines the techniques of transoral and submental thyroidectomy.</p> <p>This article presents the first clinical experience of using transoral endoscopic hemithyroidectomy through a transoral-submental approach in the Russian Federation in a patient with thyroid cancer.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Заболеваемость раком щитовидной железы на сегодняшний день занимает лидирующие позиции во всем мире. Во многом рост частоты встречаемости данной патологии может быть связан с воздействием факторов окружающей среды и улучшением качества диагностики. Основным методом лечения рака щитовидной железы является хирургическое вмешательство. В связи с этим специалисты ведут поиск альтернативных подходов, помимо традиционного открытого доступа, позволяющих избежать видимых рубцовых изменений на передней поверхности шеи. Заметный шрам вызывает у пациентов психологический и эмоциональный дискомфорт, развитие тревожных и депрессивных расстройств, особенно у молодых женщин и детей. За последние 30 лет малоинвазивная хирургия щитовидной железы претерпела значительные изменения. Во многих передовых медицинских центрах нашей страны и мира активно применяются экстрацервикальные эндоскопические доступы и их комбинации, а также трансоральные методики удаления щитовидной железы. Наиболее современным доступом является гибридный доступ, сочетающий технику трансоральной и субментальной тиреоидэктомии.</p> <p>В статье представлен первый клинический опыт применения в Российской Федерации трансоральной эндоскопической гемитиреоидэктомии через трансорально-субментальный доступ у пациентки с раком щитовидной железы.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>thyroid cancer</kwd><kwd>endoscopic thyroid surgery</kwd><kwd>transoral approach</kwd><kwd>submental approach</kwd><kwd>submandibular approach</kwd><kwd>minimally invasive thyroid surgery</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>рак щитовидной железы</kwd><kwd>эндоскопическая хирургия щитовидной железы</kwd><kwd>трансоральный доступ</kwd><kwd>субментальный доступ</kwd><kwd>подчелюстной доступ</kwd><kwd>малоинвазивная хирургия щитовидной железы</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Divarci E., Ulman H., Ozok G. et al.
