Summary
This study compares two approaches after thyroid lobectomy: going home the same day or staying overnight. Researchers will track patient safety, preferences, and healthcare use. About 224 adults having partial or complete thyroid lobectomy will participate, completing surveys before and after surgery. The goal is to see if same-day discharge is a safe and satisfactory option.
