Brief Summary

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

Postoperative pain is a good indicator to confirm the advantages of the surgical methods in the era of minimally invasive surgery. Lateral neck dissection requires extensive dissection which may leads to postoperative numbness and pain. Robotic thyroid surgery has the advantage of precise and careful dissection and avoid the L-shape incision in the open approach. The study aims to explore the pain intensity and severity of lateral neck dissection on operation day, postoperative month 1 and postoperative month 3 among the robotic, endoscopic and open approach.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Robotic group

Patients underwent lateral neck dissection via robotic approach

Observations on postoperative pain intensity

Intervention Type OTHER

pain intensity was assessed using a standard visual analogue score, with a score of 0 to 10 corresponding to no pain to the most severe pain on operation day, postoperative day 1, postoperative month 1, postoperative month 3

Endoscopic group

Patients underwent lateral neck dissection via endoscopic approach

Observations on postoperative pain intensity

Intervention Type OTHER

pain intensity was assessed using a standard visual analogue score, with a score of 0 to 10 corresponding to no pain to the most severe pain on operation day, postoperative day 1, postoperative month 1, postoperative month 3

Open group

Patients underwent lateral neck dissection via open approach

Observations on postoperative pain intensity

Intervention Type OTHER

pain intensity was assessed using a standard visual analogue score, with a score of 0 to 10 corresponding to no pain to the most severe pain on operation day, postoperative day 1, postoperative month 1, postoperative month 3
