About this study

This study collected data on open thyroidectomy patients admitted to the Breast and Thyroid Surgery Department of Shandong Provincial Hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 by reviewing medical records. This study was divided into an experimental group and a control group based on whether a head mounted magnifying glass was used, with the main calculation indicator being changes in PTH levels before and after surgery. This study investigated whether the application of head mounted magnifying glasses had an impact on preoperative and postoperative changes in PTH levels through inter group and self pre - and post control, in order to verify the practical effectiveness of head mounted magnifying glasses in thyroid surgery and provide reasonable suggestions for the selection of subsequent surgical treatment methods.

Read the detailed description

In thyroid surgery, changes in postoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels have a significant impact on the patient\'s recovery and long-term health status. Parathyroid hormone is responsible for regulating blood calcium levels, and its dysfunction can cause serious electrolyte imbalance and metabolic problems. In the process of thyroid surgery, especially in total thyroidectomy, protecting the function of the parathyroid gland is an important operation. The diameter of the parathyroid gland is small and similar to the morphology of lymph nodes, making it susceptible to damage during surgery. Although traditional magnification tools such as surgical microscopes have certain effects, their operation is complex and their adaptability to surgical scenes is limited.

In recent years, as an emerging magnifying tool, head mounted magnifying glasses have been increasingly used in thyroid surgery due to their portability, ease of operation, and providing a larger field of view. Wearing a head mounted magnifying glass can not only improve the clarity of vision during surgery, increase the recognition rate of parathyroid glands and nerves, but also reduce the risk of parathyroid injury by improving surgical accuracy, thereby more effectively maintaining the stability of postoperative PTH levels. In addition, the use of head mounted magnifying glasses can reduce surgical time, intraoperative uncertainty, and the risk of postoperative complications.

This study systematically evaluates the changes in PTH levels before and after surgery to verify the practical effectiveness of head mounted magnifying glasses in thyroid surgery, and further explores the effectiveness of parathyroid gland protection strategies, optimizing surgical techniques, and improving patient surgical safety and postoperative quality of life. In addition, the results of this study also have guiding significance for the innovation and improvement of surgical instruments, which may promote the development of related technologies and equipment, and thus promote their application in a wider range of surgical fields.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thyroid Cancer, run by Shandong Provincial Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PTH level (time frame: 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 May 2024.
