Surgical access for thoracic and intrathoracic goiter
Cervical collar incision allows resection of retrosternal goiter in 84.4% of cases. Retrosternal part can be effectively displaced to the neck wound using a Farabeuf hook. Thoracoscopy is preferable for removal of intrathoracic goiter and can be used to mobilize a large node in mediastinum as an alternative to sternotomy.
