What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of two surgical approaches for thyroidectomy: the traditional open method and a robotic technique performed through the axillary approach. It focuses on postoperative pain management, scar quality, quality of life, and the incidence of complications such as hypocalcemia and hematoma. The study aims to provide insights into which method offers better outcomes for patients undergoing thyroid surgery.
