Abstract

Oncoplastic surgery is constantly improved because of increasing rates of thyroid cancer and requirement of a good cosmesis in those patients in order to eliminate a large neck scar. Bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) provides a symmetric and good view during the procedure. Follow-up studies show that permanent hypoparathyroidism (hypocalcemia) and laryngeal nerve damage (hoarseness) may be observed as postoperative complications.
