On 21 February 2011, numerous newspapers covered reports on the minimal invasive surgery technology using the Transaxillary approach, which was first introduced by Pok Oi Hospital from Korea in 2009. This technology was applied to Thyroidectomy Surgery, which would minimize the scar of wound and reduced the chance of post-operative complications of traditional surgery, enhancing the quality of life of patients. Patients who had undergone this surgery remarked at the interview with press that they were very satified with the result of the surgery. The incision of surgery was small, leaving a wound of around 5mm only, which was not easily noticed. Also, the recovery time was short, which facilitated their early return to normal life and work.
