Abstract:

Objective

To explore the impact of gasless subclavian approach endoscopic thyroid cancer radical surgery on perioperative indicators and thyroid function in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).

Methods

The clinical data of 106 PTC patients from April 2023 to April 2025 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the endoscopic surgery group (n=55, undergoing gasless subclavian approach endoscopic unilateral thyroid cancer radical surgery) and the traditional surgery group (n=51, undergoing traditional open approach unilateral thyroid cancer radical surgery). χ2 test or t test was used to compare perioperative indicators, thyroid function, pain degree, aesthetic effect, and complications between the two groups. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results

The endoscopic surgery group had less intraoperative blood loss and longer operation time than the traditional surgery group (P<0.05). On the third day after surgery, the free triiodothyronine (FT3) and free thyroxine (FT4) levels in the endoscopic surgery group were higher than those in the traditional surgery group, while the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level was lower (P<0.05). On the first, third, seventh day after surgery and one month after surgery, the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores in the endoscopic surgery group were lower than those in the traditional surgery group (P<0.05). Three months after surgery, there was no statistically significant difference in VAS scores between the two groups (P>0.05). Three months after surgery, the scar assessment scale (PSAS) scores and Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) in the endoscopic surgery group were lower than those in the traditional surgery group (P<0.05). The postoperative complication rates in the endoscopic surgery group and the traditional surgery group were 7.3% (4/55) and 11.8% (6/51), respectively, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05).

Conclusion

Gasless subclavian approach endoscopic thyroid cancer radical surgery is more conducive to the early recovery of thyroid function in PTC patients, with less postoperative pain and good aesthetic effect of the incision.
