Single-Incision Gasless Endoscopic Total Thyroidectomy Via Subclavian Approach Versus Open Surgery for PTC

Single-Incision Gasless Endoscopic Total Thyroidectomy Via Subclavian Approach Versus Open Surgery for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

Historically, performing a contralateral thyroid lobectomy and lymph node dissection via the subclavian approach was considered challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of single-incision gasless endoscopic total thyroidectomy and central compartment neck dissection via the subclavian approach (SCA) in comparison to conventional open surgery for the treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) retrospectively.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - (1) thyroid neoplasm \<3.0 cm; - (2) well differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - (1) extrathyroidal extensions estimated in ultrasonography scan; - (2) enlarged lymph nodes in lateral neck compartment on palpation, or US scan; - (3) suspected distant metastases; - (4) previous history of neck radiation therapy and/or surgery. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
