About this study

Official title: Comparing the Two Ways of Creating a High Position and Low Position Operating Space in Endoscopic Thyroid Surgery

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.

Read the 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.

Being tested
high position space group, low position space group
Medical subject headings
Thyroid Neoplasms

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • high position space groupProcedure or surgery

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

  • low position space groupProcedure or surgery

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

Receives: Procedure: low position space group

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Intercostal arterial bleeding

    The number of intercostal artery bleeding

    Measured: During surgery

  2. Thyroidectomy time

    Time to complete removal of thyroid gland specimens starting from the establishment of the operating space (minutes)

    Measured: During surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Thyroid volume

    Thyroid volume calculated by preoperative ultrasound

    Measured: Before surgery

  2. Patient's BMI

    BMI equals body weight divided by height squared

    Measured: Before surgery

  3. Assessment of skin sensory abnormalities

    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.

    Measured: two months after surgery
