Abstract:
Objective To compare the clinical efficacy between endoscopic thyroidectomy via breast approach conventional open thyroidectomy in patients with nodular goiter. Methods A series of 70 patients with unilateral nodular goiter divided into two groups, either receiving endoscopic thyroidectomy through breast approach(endoscopic group,35 cases),or conventional open thyroidectomy(open group,35 cases). The therapeutic efficacy was compared between the two groups. Results The operating time of endoscopic group was significantly longer in the endoscopic group (100.4±26.6)min than in the open group (73.5±14.5) min(t=5. 627, P=0. 000). The postoperative drainage volume in the endoscopic group (66.7±24.9) ml significantly more than that in the open group ( 13.3±6.4)ml( t = 14. 403, P = 0. 000 ). The postoperative hospital stasignificantly longer in the endoscopic group (4.3±1.1 )d than in the open group (3.6±0.9)d(t=2.886, P=0.005). And a satisfactory cosmetic result was achieved in significantly more patients in the endoscopic group(9/24 cases) than in the open group(34/51 )(x2 = 7.235, P=0.007). There was no significant difference in intraoperative loss between the endoscopic group (22.5±15.3)ml and the open group (18.3±7.5 )ml(t=1.273, P=0.207), a consumption of analgesics between the endoscopic group (9/24 eases) and the open group(21/51 cases) (X2=0.028, P=0.867), respectively. No severe complications was encountered ,such as massive hemorrhage,injuries of the recurrent or sularyngeal nerve, or parathyroidgland injury. Conclusion Both breast approach endoscopic thyroidectomy and conventional open thyroidectomy are safe and effective, former gives better cosmetic outcomes.
