About
Dr. Pornpeera Jitpratoom is a pioneering surgeon whose work has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of minimally invasive thyroid surgery. Her primary research focuses on the development and refinement of the Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach (TOETVA), a groundbreaking technique that eliminates visible neck scars. As a key contributor to the landmark 2017 paper "Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA): indications, techniques and results," which has amassed over 300 citations, Dr. Jitpratoom established the foundational protocols and safety standards for this procedure. Her major contributions include defining patient selection criteria, detailing surgical steps, and demonstrating that TOETVA offers comparable outcomes to conventional surgery with superior cosmetic results. This work has not only advanced surgical practice but also significantly improved patient quality of life by removing the psychological burden of a neck scar. Dr. Jitpratoom’s impact is evident in the widespread adoption of TOETVA globally, and she continues to be a leading voice in endocrine surgery, training surgeons worldwide and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in scarless thyroid surgery.
