Minimally invasive, video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT)
Surg Clin North Am.

Abstract
Minimally invasive, video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT) was first used in Pisa in 1998. The technique is characterized by a unique central access and external retraction. There is controversy about the validity and limited indications of this and other minimally invasive thyroidectomy techniques, but MIVAT looks promising. The results of MIVAT, in 5 years experience, are similar to those of traditional thyroidectomy.
