Due to the narrow operating space, it is often difficult for the surgeon to carry out the fine operation of endoscopic thyroid surgery. The EndoSystem percutaneous surgical system is a detachabl surgical instrument designed with "large head and small body", which can act as the "third hand" to assist the surgeon to carry out the operation more easily in the narrow space.
