Summary

Endoscopic thyroidectomy developed rapidly in recent years, and the most popular surgical approach was endoscopic thyroidectomy by bilateral areola approach, but some operative steps was required optimization. One of the most annoying problem was the smog blurring endoscopic lens during surgery. The researcher summarized a set of convenient foot-control exhaust method and carried out this prospective study.

Detailed description

The patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma were included according to the inclusive criteria and randomly divided them into two groups (foot-control exhaust group and direct exhaust group). The foot-control exhaust group used the foot-control exhaust method by the way of adjustable Pressure to intermittent exhaust, while direct exhaust group exhaust through the Trocar hole. Comparison of operation time, times of wiping the endoscopic lens, volume of postoperative drainage, and number of identified parathyroid gland between two groups.
