Curative effect of small incision thyroidectomy on thyroid nodule

Abstract

Objective To discuss the curative effect of small incision thyroidectomy on thyroid nodule . Methods 94 patients with thyroid nodule were selected and divided into the small incision group and control group according to different modes of operation ,47 cases in each group .The patients in small incision group were given small incision thyroidectomy ,while the patients in control group were given the traditional big incision thyroidectomy .The curative effect and security in the two groups were observed and compared .Results The operation time,intraoperative amount of bleeding ,length of incision and length of hospital stay in the small incision group were （48.76 ±10.37） min, （39.57 ±7.68）mL,（3.57 ±0.68）cm（4.89 ±1.13）d,which were significantly less than those in the control group [（54.07 ±11.64）min,（64.16 ±7.98）mL,（6.88 ±0.65）cm,（5.47 ±1.32）d]（t=2.13,3.12,3.96,2.14,P〈0.05 or P〈0.01）.The incidence rate of adverse reactions in small incision group was 10.6%,which was significant-ly lower than 29.8%in control group （χ2 =5.34,P〈0.05）.Conclusion Compared with traditional mode of opera-tion,small incision thyroidectomy has following advantages on thyroid nodule ,smaller operation wound ,less intraopera-tive amount of bleeding ,quicker postoperative recovery ,better cosmetic effect ,less adverse reactions ,etc. Key words: Thyroid nodule; Thyroidectomy
