Description
Ziyu Wang and co-authors compare surgery routes for small thyroid cancers in a 2026 study. Standard open surgery leaves a visible scar on the front of the neck. Routes from below the collarbone can hide the scar but may need special gear and more skill. The study tested a modified route above the collarbone for one sided small tumors.
Records covered patients treated at one center over about two and a half years. Three groups had the new route, a scope route, or standard open surgery. The team weighed surgery time, node counts, hormone levels, costs, and problems after surgery. A stats method balanced group traits for the main pairing of new route against open surgery.
