Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Energy Device Study in Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy

Study Description

Brief Summary: Open label randomized controlled study, for Harmonic versus Ligasure in transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery.

Detailed Description: * This is a prospective randomized controlled study. The principal investigator or another clinical investigator in charge will individually inform the patients about the study, on the day before surgery. * When informed consent is obtained, an investigator in charge of randomization only, will randomize the patients. * According to randomization, the experimental group will Ligasure and the control group will use Harmonic ACE 7+. Other than the randomized use of energy devices, the protocol for TOETVA is performed as usual. * Operation time (from insertion of the laparoscopic camera to removal of the camera), number of times the camera was cleaned, intraoperative blood loss will recorded. * Postoperative hospital stay, visual analog pain scale, blood cell count and inflammatory parameters, postoperative drain amount will recorded. * Complications of thyroid surgery (vocal cord dysfunction, hypoparathyroidism) are compared for safety assessment.
