Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of the modified gasless unilateral axillary approach (MGUAA) endoscopic thyroid surgery in treatment of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) .Methods:From Jan. 2019 to Dec. 2019, 90 patients receiving PTMC (cT1N0M0, cI stage, 8th, 2017 AJCC) therapy by modified gasless unilateral axillary approach endoscopic thyroid surgery (MGUAA group, n=41) , and conventional open thyroid surgery (OS group, n=49) were retrospectively analyzed. Ninety patients were enrolled in the study, including 14 males and 76 females,with the mean age (42.1±12.0) years.The effectiveness of central lymph node dissection (CLND) , the operation time, the types of operation, the amount of drainage, the duration of hospital stay, the related complications, the postoperative pain of neck and axillary and the cosmetic satisfaction were compared between the two groups.SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis, the measurement data was expressed by ±s, paired t test was used to compare the measurement data between groups, and Chi-square test was used to campare the count date between groups. Results:The mean age (35.0±8.6) years and the amount of surgical bleeding (12.3±7.3) ml in the MGUAA group were significantly lower than those (48.1±11.1) years and (16.1±4.3) ml in the OS group ( P<0.01) , while the mean operation time (99.1±19.5) min, the mean amount of drainage (221.4±67.9) ml and the postoperative drainage tube placement time (5.0±0.8) days were significantly higher than those of (70.6±17.8) min, (98.3±63.7) ml and (3.8±1.0) days in the MGUAA ( P<0.01) . There was no significant difference in the number of lymph nodes of CLND or the duration of hospital stay between the two groups ( P>0.05) . In terms of surgical complications, the transient recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, the postoperative hematoma, the postoperative infection, and the lymphatic leakage had no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05) . The MGUAA group had significant advantages in avoiding the postoperative dysphagia in front of neck, the postoperative pain of neck, and cosmetic satisfaction over the OS group [ (0.0% vs 28.6%) , (14.6% vs 71.4%) , (1.1±0.3) score vs (2.4±0.5) score ( P<0.01) ]. Whereas in axillary area pain on the surgical side, the MGUAA group was inferior to the OS group ( P<0.01) . Conclusion:The modified gasless unilateral axillary approach endoscopic thyroid surgery is a feasible, safe and cosmetically operation for PTMC (cT1N0M0, cI stage, 8th, 2017 AJCC) .
