Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective is to compare 12 month complication rates between a new surgical method for thyroidectomy (robot-assisted endoscopic thyroidectomy via a sub-clavical approach) and open thyroidectomy.

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Patients will have a thyroidectomy via a robot-assisted (da Vinci robot) endoscopic (subclavical entry)surgical technique.

Open surgery

Patients in this arm will have a thyroidectomy using an open surgical technique.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Open thyroidectomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Patients will have a conventional (non-endoscopic) thyroidectomy using an open surgical technique
