Improvements in Thyroid Tumor Surgery and the Prognosis, Diagnosis, Recurrence and Metastasis of Patients

Summary

The objective of this research is to investigate the clinical outcomes of modified surgical techniques such as omitting the cervical linea alba suture in transthoracic endoscopic thyroidectomy. Furthermore, the study requires the collection of normal thyroid tissues, benign and malignant thyroid tumors, and lymph nodes to further clarify the mechanisms associated with the initiation, progression, metastasis, and recurrence of thyroid cancer.

Eligibility

1. Perform transthoracic endoscopic thyroidectomy via breast approach;
2. Postoperative pathology confirms benign or malignant thyroid tumors;
3. Preoperative thyroid ultrasound or cervical CT suggests no extrathyroidal invasion or distant metastasis of the tumor;
4. No contraindications for general anesthesia;
5. Patients with cosmetic requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Underwent transthoracic endoscopic thyroidectomy;
2. Postoperative pathology confirmed as benign or malignant thyroid tumors;
