Résumé
Endoscopic thyroidectomy is a minimally invasive surgical approach that has become popular due to its cosmetic advantages and reduced post-operative discomfort. Central to the success of this procedure is the accurate identification of the midline, which becomes a challenge in endoscopic surgeries. We propose a novel method of using methylene blue, a Food and Drug Administration-approved dye, which offers the ability to clearly mark the midline, enhancing orientation and reducing the potential for injury to critical anatomical structures. Although using methylene blue has many benefits, there are drawbacks, including the requirement for intraoperative ultrasonography. Continued research and clinical experience will be critical in improving and extending its use in the field of thyroid surgery.
