Clinical Trial Summary

The goals of minimally invasive approaches are better cosmetic results with small neck scar, decreasing postoperative pain, and shortening of hospital stay periods without postoperative complications. The concept of surgical invasiveness cannot be limited to the length and site of the skin incision; it must be extended to all structures dissected during the procedure. Conventional thyroidectomy without raising subplatysmal flaps has proven to be effective in reducing postoperative pain and seroma

Description:

Minimal invasive flapless thyroidectomy (MIFT) is a new technique that can be used in replacement of the conventional method of thyroidectomy for the management of selected cases of benign thyroid disorders. This work aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of Minimal Invasive Flapless Thyroidectomy (MIFT) in the management of thyroid disease as regards postoperative pain, cosmesis, operative time, and other postoperative complications in comparison to Conventional thyroidectomy technique.
