Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Retro-Auricular Single-Site Endoscopic Thyroidectomy group
Patients in the retro-auricular single-site endoscopic thyroidectomy (RASSET) group will receive endoscopic thyroid lobectomy and central lymph node dissection.
Procedure: Retro-Auricular Single-Site Endoscopic Thyroidectomy
The strap muscles and the sternocleidomastoid muscle were separated. Upper parathyroid and lower parathyroid glands were identified and preserved. The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) was identified，A lobe of thyroid specimen and central lymph nodes were dissected.
Active Comparator: Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach group
Patients in the Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach group will receive endoscopic thyroid lobectomy and central lymph node dissection.
Procedure: Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach
The patient was placed in a supine position with slight neck extension under nasotracheal intubation. The mouth was garbled with povidone iodine before surgery. Three laparoscopic ports (a 10- to 15-mm port at midline and two 5-mm ports at the lateral junction between the canine and first premolar teeth)were inserted under the lower lip at the oral vestibular area.The strap muscleswere separated in the midline to expose the thyroid and trachea. The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) was identified at the insertion to the larynx, then followed downandparallel tothe trachea inferiorly.
Active Comparator: Transareola Endoscopic Thyroidectomy group
Patients in the Transareola Endoscopic Thyroidectomy group will receive endoscopic thyroid lobectomy and central lymph node dissection.
Procedure: Transareola Endoscopic Thyroidectomy
The patient was in supine position. Incision was made inside the right areola and a 10mm puncture device was placed, subcutaneous separation rod was used to separate the space, and a 30° endoscope was introduced, puncture device was placed in a 5mm incision on the left areola, ultrasonic knife free flap was used, subcutaneous separation space was placed in the upper sternal segment, and a 5mm puncture device was placed outside the right areola. The anterior cervical flap was further dissociated to establish a space. The median cervical line was cut to cut off the isthmus of the thyroid, and the tracheal fascia ligament of the thyroid was separated and the nerve was exposed to protect the nerves. Then remove the lobe of thyroid and central lymph nodes

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
