This report describes the intraoperative course of endoscopic thyroidectomy by oral vestibular approach in a female patient. This operation is new, and its perioperative management is not yet mature. In this case, the surgery resulted in trachea injury that could not be detected easily. As a result, the patient suddenly developed acute dyspnea and circulatory disorder. This procedure requires caution in surgical execution and anesthesia management.
