DISCUSSION
SCARRING, DISEASE, CAVITY
The advantages of M‐GTET over GTET include: (1) Less collision between instruments due to the two entry points of the trocars being further apart than in GTET. The clash of instruments in endoscopic thyroidectomies is due to the small cavity of the workspace and trocars being too close to each other, limiting the surgeon's movement.The modified version of the retractor enabled to have a shorter incision at the axilla and at the same time being further from the anterior axillary line for the MGTET group. This helps to provide better concealment of the incision. Moreover, the modified retractor helps to provide less overextension of the skin at the axilla during the surgery, without affecting the field of view. Due to less over‐extension of the incision, and although placing two 5 mm trocars, the POSAS had better scores for MGTET.Treating the disease and at the same time a patient's overall well‐being is also very important. Several studies have mentioned that scarring can affect the QoL of patients.
