Abstract:Objective To investigate clinical effect of small incision thyroidectomy in treatment for benign thyroid tumors.Methods A total of 90 patients with benign thyroid tumorswho had undergone unilateral lobectomy treated in the Departmentof Thyroid Surgery of Pingxiang People′s Hospital from December 2016 to December 2018 were selected as subjects.Patients were divided into control group and observation group according to the different surgical incision.In the control group,72 patients were treated with traditional thyroid surgery,and in the observation group,50 patients were treated with small incision thyroidectomy.Postoperative pain scoreswere compared between the two groups.Surgical indications(operative time,intraoperative bleeding volume,postoperative drainage time,postoperative pain time)were compared between the two groups.The total incidence of complications(hoarseness,neck compression,dyspnea,subcutaneous nodules,incision infection)were compared between the two groups.Results Postoperative pain score in observation group after operation was lower than that in control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Therewas no difference in the operation time between the two groups(P>0.05).The postoperative drainage time and postoperative pain time in observation group were shorter than that in control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The intraoperative bleeding volume in observation group was less than that in control group,the differencewas statistically significant(P<0.05).The total incidence of complications in observation group was lower than that in control group,the differencewas statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Small incision thyroidectomy has significant effect in treatment for benign thyroid tumors,which has the advantages of small trauma,quick recovery,beautiful appearance,light pain,high safety.That is worthy of clinical application.
