Summary:With the rapid development of endoscopic techniques, endoscopic thyroid surgery has gradually become a new research focus due to the tiny neck scar, invisible surgical incision, etc..

After reviewing the related literatures, this paper discusses the indications and disputations of endoscopic thyroid cancer surgery, puts forward the countermeasures to avoid the risk and provides rationalization proposals for their future trends.
