Intervention

Procedure:
• retro-auricular single-site endoscopic thyroidectomy
The strap muscles and the sternocleidomastoid muscle were separated. Upper parathyroid and lower parathyroid glands were identified and preserved. The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) was identified,A lobe of thyroid specimen and central lymph nodes were dissected.
• traditional open surgery thyroidectomy
The strap muscles were separated in the midline to expose the thyroid gland. Upper parathyroid and lower parathyroid glands were identified and preserved. The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) was identified, a lobe of thyroid specimen and central lymph nodes were dissected.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	postoperative cosmetic satisfaction scores	The cosmetic satisfaction score(CSS) was defined as the sum of the scores on questions about the scar. Q1 and Q2 was using a verbal response scale from 1 to 5 (corresponding to decreasing satisfaction). The other four questions, each on a scale of 0 to 3 (again of decreasing satisfaction).	3 months from surgery
Secondary	postoperative Vancouver Scar Scale	The Vancouver Scar Scale(VSS) is used for scar assessment. It has six domains: vascularity, pigmentation, pliability, height, pain and itchiness. The maximum score for the sum of the domain scores is 18, which corresponds to the worst scar, while 0 indicates normal skin.	3 months from surgery
Secondary	postoperative Vancouver Scar Scale	The Vancouver Scar Scale(VSS) is used for scar assessment. It has six domains: vascularity, pigmentation, pliability, height, pain and itchiness. The maximum score for the sum of the domain scores is 18, which corresponds to the worst scar, while 0 indicates normal skin.	1 month from surgery
Secondary	Intra-operative, peri-operative, post-operative clinicopathologic characteristics	Baseline clinicopathologic characteristics of patients	1 week from surgery
Secondary	postoperative cosmetic satisfaction scores	The cosmetic satisfaction score(CSS) was defined as the sum of the scores on questions about the scar. Q1 and Q2 was using a verbal response scale from 1 to 5 (corresponding to decreasing satisfaction).
