Brief Summary

Purpose: Total endoscopic thyroidectomy including oral approach and breast approach has excellent cosmetic and several functional results. Many patients, especially women, undergoing thyroid surgery are concerned about the postoperative cosmetic appearance of the neck. The procedure of total endoscopic thyroidectomy by breast approach only left three incisions, while by oral approach did not leave any incisions in the body surface, which is scarless in the neck, involved with a higher cosmetic result. However, the long-term property evaluation of total endoscopic thyroidectomy was not confirmed. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the surgical results of total endoscopic thyroidectomy (transoral approach and breast approach) versus conventional open thyroidectomy.

Choosing to participate in a study is an important personal decision. Talk with your doctor and family members or friends about deciding to join a study. To learn more about this study, you or your doctor may contact the study research staff using the contacts about the eligibility criteria. Patients will be introduced the general information of different surgical methods, and the clinical studies.

You may qualify if:

  • Age: 15\~55 years old;
  • Type: Differentiated thyroid carcinoma, diameter ≤ 2cm, cN0 or cN1a, M0;
  • Thyroid lobe was less than the second degree enlargement;
  • Thyroid benign goiter, and the diameter ≤ 6cm

You may not qualify if:

  • Combine the surgical history of mandibular, oral, facial, or neck;
  • It was shown by preoperative radiological examination that the thyroid cancer has local invasion, N1b, or distant metastasis.
  • Thyroid lobe was more than the third degree enlargement
  • Any medical history that probably interfere the test results or increase the disease risks
  • The patient's compliance is not very well, and cannot work as the doctors asked
