No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to compare the effectiveness of two surgical approaches in identifying the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) during thyroidectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

How does each approach affect the length of hospital stay? How does each approach affect the number of adverse events that occur during surgery? How does each approach affect vocal cord function after surgery?

Researchers will compare the new medial approach to the standard lateral approach to evaluate its effectiveness.

Participants scheduled to undergo thyroidectomy surgery will be randomly assigned to one of these approaches after informed consent is obtained. Data will be collected during and after the surgery by a research assistant.
