Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To compare the therapeutic effect between endoscopic thyroidectomy and open thyroidectomy.
METHOD:One hundred and nine patients were randomly divided into two groups. The first group with 52 patients were carried out endoscopic thyroidectomy; and the second group with 57 patients was carried out open thyroidectomy. Clinical features including operation time, operative blood loss, hospitalization and complications were compared between the two groups.
RESULT:The average operative time was (105.1 +/- 30.2) min in endoscopic group and (145.3 +/- 27.4) min in open group (P<0.01); the mean operative blood loss was (7.5 +/- 4.2) ml in endoscopic group and (48.6 +/- 18.6) ml in open group (P<0.01); the average hospitalization after operation was (4.1 +/- 1.4) days and (8.0 +/- 1.9) days (P<0.01), the complication rate was 5.8% in endoscopic group and 8.8% in open group (P<0.01).
CONCLUSION:Compared to the traditional open surgery, endoscopic thyroidectomy is safe and effective,with advantages in terms of the aesthetic property,the amount of bleeding and the postoperative complications.
