Results of minimally invasive technology in thyroid surgery

Abstract

This article analyzes the results of examination and surgical treatment of 572 patients with surgical thyroid gland diseases who were operated on using open and minimally invasive techniques. All patients were divided into several groups depending on the chosen surgical technique. The results of surgical treatment of patients with thyroid diseases in each group were assessed according to the following parameters: duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss, drainage of a postoperative wound, pain intensity in the postoperative period, complications, length of hospital stay in the postoperative period, cosmetic effect. A decrease in the number of intra- and postoperative complications during minimally invasive surgical interventions has been reliably established.
