“… 1 Surgical resection is the main treatment for thyroid cancer and greatly improves prognosis. 2 However, postoperative complications, such as poor cosmetic outcomes, scar adhesion, and hyperplasia, pose challenges for thyroid surgeons, especially in traditional thyroid surgery using a midline cervical incision, and the incidence of scar adhesion and hyperplasia is high. 3 Endoscopic surgery has been used in thyroid surgery, and there have recently been noteworthy developments in this type of surgery.…”

Objective Surgical resection is the main treatment for thyroid cancer, but while traditional open thyroidectomy improves prognosis, it also results in poor cosmetic outcomes. Therefore, we devised the lateral cervical small incision approach to thyroidectomy and will evaluate its efficacy. Methods The clinicopathological data of 191 patients who underwent unilateral thyroidectomy and isthmusectomy for early thyroid cancer were collected retrospectively. Of these, 100 patients underwent a traditional thyroidectomy using the median cervical approach (control group), and 91 patients underwent a thyroidectomy using the lateral cervical small incision approach (experimental group). The differences in perioperative prognosis, postoperative complications, and cosmetic outcomes between the two groups were evaluated. Results There was no significant difference in sex, age, tumor size, lymph node dissection, number of metastases, or postoperative complications between the experimental group and the control group (P > 0.05). There were significant differences in the duration of the operation; postoperative blood loss, drainage, and hospital stay; and scar color, blood circulation, hardness, and thickness between the groups (P < 0.05). The cosmetic outcomes of the incisions in the experimental group were more satisfactory than in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion When compared with traditional open thyroidectomy, the lateral cervical small incision approach has a lower incidence of complications, a better perioperative prognosis, and an improved cosmetic outcome.
