  • Effect evaluation of gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy via axillary posterior approach forunilateral papillary thyroid microcarcinoma

    ObjectiveTo explore the therapeutic effect of gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy via axillary posterior approach for unilateral papillary thyroid microcarcinoma. MethodsThe clinicopathologic data of patients with unilateral papillary thyroid microcarcinoma who were treated by gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy via axillary posterior approach (observation group) or breast approach (control group) in the Xuzhou Central Hospital from January 2020 to February 2022 were collected. The operation time, accidental intraoperative bleeding, exposure time of recurrent laryngeal nerve, number of lymph node dissection, total hospital stay, and postoperative complications such as superior laryngeal nerve injury, cough due to drinking, temporary hoarseness, transient hypocalcemia, tunnel hematoma, and neck discomfort were compared between the two groups. Meanwhile, the cosmetic effects of the two groups were evaluated. ResultsA total of 87 patients who met the study conditions were enrolled in this study, including 47 cases in the observation group and 40 cases in the control group. There were no statistical differences in the baseline data such as gende, age, maximum tumor diameter, location of tumor, etc. between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the exposure time of recurrent laryngeal nerve was shorter (P<0.001) and the number of lymph node dissection was more (P=0.034), but the accidental intraoperative bleeding during operation was more (P=0.015) in the observation group. There were no statistical differences in the operation time and total hospital stay between the two groups (P>0.05). There were no superior laryngeal nerve injury and cough due to drinking in the two groups after operation, and there were no statistical differences between the two groups in the terms of postoperative temporary hoarseness, transient hypocalcemia, and tunnel hematoma (P>0.05), but it was found that the incidence of postoperative neck discomfort in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P=0.043), and the postoperative cosmetic satisfaction score was also higher than that in the control group (P<0.001). ConclusionsFrom the results of this study, gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy via axillary posterior approach for unilateral papillary thyroid microcarcinoma is safe and feasible. It can quickly expose the recurrent laryngeal nerve and greatly improve the efficiency of lymph node dissection, as well as the cosmetic effect is better.
