Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the intensity and severity of postoperative pain following lateral neck dissection performed using robotic, endoscopic, and open surgical approaches. It aims to assess pain levels on the day of surgery, one month post-operation, and three months post-operation to evaluate the advantages of minimally invasive techniques. By focusing on patients diagnosed with differentiated thyroid cancer and metastatic lateral lymph nodes, the study seeks to provide insights into the effectiveness of these surgical methods in reducing postoperative discomfort.
