Brief summary

Patients in our department endoscopic thyroidectomy were randomly divided into high position and low position established operating space group established operating space group. The thyroid size, patient BMI, operation time, and intraoperative blood loss were compared between the two groups.

Detailed description

Patients in our department endoscopic thyroidectomy were randomly divided into high position and low position established operating space group established operating space group.The sternum angle level is used as the dividing line between the two groups。The thyroid size, patient BMI, operation time, and intraoperative blood loss were compared between the two groups.

Interventions

PROCEDUREhigh position space group

The left and right Trocar meet at the level of the sternum angle and begin to establish the operating space.

PROCEDURElow position space group

The left and right Trocar meet under the sternum angle and begin to establish the operating space.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Intercostal arterial bleeding	During surgery	The number of intercostal artery bleeding
Thyroidectomy time	During surgery	Time to complete removal of thyroid gland specimens starting from the establishment of the operating space (minutes)

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Thyroid volume	Before surgery	Thyroid volume calculated by preoperative ultrasound
Patient's BMI	Before surgery	BMI equals body weight divided by height squared
Assessment of skin sensory abnormalities	two months after surgery	According to the visual scoring method, it was divided into 1-10 points and evaluated by the patient two months after surgery. The score of 10 points was the same as before surgery, and 0 points showed serious discomfort.
