Brief summary

Comparison of endoscopic thyroidectomy, robotic thyroidectomy and conventional open surgery, the safety of the operation, the timing of the operation and the complications.

Detailed description

With the further development of endoscopic technique, thyroid surgery of the robot has emerged, which may become a trend of endoscopic technology due to its convenience and accuracy.In this study, the advantages and disadvantages of endoscopic thyroidectomy and robotic thyroid surgery were compared, and the experience in the transition stage of thyroid surgery in robotic and endoscopic thyroidectomy was summarized.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
operation time	The first day after surgery	Assess the operation time
recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy	2 months post operation	the number of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
thyroid volume	The day before the operation	thyroid volume
cosmetic effect	2 months post operation	The satisfaction with cosmetic outcomes was analyzed quantitatively using a scoring system that ranged from 1 to 4(1, extremely; 2, fairly; 3, normal; 4: not at all) that was rated by patients at the outpatient clinic 2 months after the operation.
