Renovated Prediction Model for Difficult Transoral and Submental Endoscopic Thyroidectomy
Sponsor: Shanghai 6th People's Hospital
Summary
The investigators have previously proposed a prediction model for difficult transoral and submental thyroidectomy through a retrospective study. In order to better promote transoral and submental endoscopic approach for thyroid surgery and to set up an appropriate training course, the investigators aim to refine the procedure through a prospective study. As a procedure refinement, a modified strap-muscle dissection technique will be introduced during transoral and submental endoscopic thyroidectomy.

Modified Strap-Muscle Dissection Technique
A refined endoscopic thyroidectomy technique characterized by limited midline separation of the superficial sternohyoid muscle layer, with preservation of adequate deep-layer sternothyroid dissection and lateral strap-muscle retraction to maintain surgical exposure.
