About
Dr. Angkoon Anuwong is a pioneering figure in minimally invasive thyroid and parathyroid surgery, best known for developing and refining the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA). His work has fundamentally shifted the paradigm of neck surgery by demonstrating that the thyroid and parathyroid glands can be safely accessed through the oral vestibule, eliminating the need for visible anterior neck scars. With his landmark 2017 paper on TOETVA accumulating over 305 citations, Dr. Anuwong has provided the foundational techniques, indications, and safety protocols that have enabled surgeons worldwide to adopt this scarless approach. He has further advanced the field by comparing endoscopic and robotic transoral techniques, as evidenced by his highly cited comparative studies, and by establishing frameworks for safe exploration and neuromonitoring. His cumulative body of work, including over 1,100 citations across his top publications, has not only improved cosmetic outcomes for thousands of patients but has also set a new standard for what constitutes truly minimally invasive central neck surgery.
