Quality of life after thyroid gland surgery is as important as disease control. To improve cosmetic results and patient satisfaction, endoscopic approaches are used using incisions outside the cervical region. Endoscopic transoral thyroidectomy does not leave any visible scarring on the skin. We present the case of a 29-year-old female patient with a benign thyroid gland tumor with compressive symptoms and aesthetic concerns, who underwent a right hemithyroidectomy by means of an endoscopic transoral vestibular approach in a time of 150 minutes and minimal bleeding, without complications in the postoperative period. The transoral endoscopic vestibular approach for endoscopic resection of the thyroid gland is safe and the results are comparable with the open surgical technique, with a better cosmetic result and improved quality of life.

Los niños con antecedente de leucemia linfoblástica aguda (LLA) a los que se les realizó un trasplante de progenitores hematopoyéticos (TPH) han experimentado una mejora en su supervivencia recientemente. Sin embargo, existe el riesgo a largo plazo de desarrollar una segunda neoplasia maligna, por lo que requieren seguimiento post-TPH. En los pacientes que requirieron radioterapia más quimioterapia previa al TPH, este régimen de preparación se considera como un factor de riesgo para la aparición de estas neoplasias, como los carcinomas de tiroides. Presentamos el caso clínico de una paciente de 15 años que fue diagnosticada con LLA a los 7 años. Recibió un esquema de quimioterapia y radioterapia, y después de alcanzar la remisión completa, se sometió a un TPH en Estados Unidos. Siete años después, presentó una tumoración en la glándula tiroides y se le realizó una ti...

We present a clinical case of a 16-year-old patient with multiple facial fractures as a result of a third-party physical attack, for which he underwent facial reconstruction after planning and 3D printing. This case report aims to highlight the importance of using technologies such as 3D printing to reconstruct the face following panfacial trauma in a pediatric patient. 3D printing facilitates the reproduction of anatomically sized custom models designed in software from images of a tomographic study, as recent studies reinforce the benefits of using 3D printing for good preoperative planning and achieving the patient's postoperative goals.

Introduction: Branchial arch malformations originate from the incomplete obliteration of the clefts and pouches in embryological development, constituting the second cause of congenital head and neck mass in pediatric ages. Case of report: The clinical presentation depends on the branchial arch involved. We present the case of a 2-year-old boy who presented frequent episodes of stridor and intermittent fever since 6 months after birth. Computed tomography showed a cystic-looking lesion located in the right pharyngeal mucosal space with extension to the oropharynx. The lesion was resected by a transoral endoscopic approach. The pathological report was compatible with a branchial cyst of the second pharyngeal pouch. Conclusion: The diagnostic suspicion of congenital branchial malformations and their correct identification are essential for timely treatment in pediatric ages.
