Safety of Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Via Retro-Auricular Single-Site Approach, Transoral Approach and Transareola

December 2, 2024 updated by: Ouyang Dian, Sun Yat-sen University

Single-center, Retrospective Study of Retro-Auricular Single-Site Endoscopic, Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach and Transareola Endoscopic Thyroidectomy in Patients With Early Stage Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

The goal of this retrospective study is to compare the safety and efficiacy of endoscopic thyroidectomy via retro-auricular single-site approach, transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach and transareola approach.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
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.
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.
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.
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
