Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn the efficacy, cosmetic effectiveness and safety of robotic modified radical neck dissection in well-selected cases, through direct comparison with conventional open surgery in low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma with lateral cervical lymph node metastasis. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does robotic neck dissection provide tumor clearance equivalent to that of the conventional open approach? How does the postoperative complication rate of the robotic technique compare with open surgery? Are patients satisfied with the cosmetic appearance of the wound following robotic neck dissection? Researchers will compare robotic surgery with conventional open surgery to see if it has the same efficacy, cosmetic effectiveness and safety.

Participants' postoperative recovery will be followed up, and they will provide pain scores and rate their cosmetic satisfaction with the wound.
