Printing a Three‐Dimensional Patient‐Specific Safety Device for Reducing the Potential Risk of Mental Nerve Injury During Transoral Thyroidectomy

Abstract

Our own TOETVA series has demonstrated that the implementation of the PSSD has been successful in preoperatively identifying and preventing the potential risk of MN injury. Although the additional requirements of preoperative CT and time for fabricating the device impose limitations, the influence of the PSSD in TOETVA is positive.
