This anatomical illustration shows a transverse neck incision during a thyroidectomy, with surgical retractors lifting the skin and platysma to reveal the thyroid gland, trachea, and recurrent laryngeal nerve. The thyroid isthmus is visible, along with vascular structures such as the inferior thyroid artery, and the surgeon’s instruments are positioned for precise dissection and hemostasis. The image emphasizes critical landmarks to avoid nerve injury and ensure safe gland removal.
