Clinical Outcomes of Endoscopic Versus Open Thyroidectomy: A Comparative Study of Surgical Safety and Patient Satisfaction
Keywords:
Endoscopic thyroidectomy, open thyroidectomy, cosmetic outcomesAbstract
Advancements in minimally invasive techniques have led to the increasing adoption of endoscopic thyroidectomy as an alternative to conventional open surgery. This study compares surgical safety, postoperative recovery, cosmetic satisfaction, and complication rates between endoscopic and open thyroidectomy. A total of 160 patients were analyzed over a two-year period. Results indicate that endoscopic thyroidectomy offers superior cosmetic outcomes and reduced postoperative pain, with comparable safety profiles. These findings support the selective use of endoscopic approaches in appropriately chosen patients
