NCT ID NCT06730321

First seen May 13, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study aims to develop and test a scoring system called RTAS to evaluate how well surgeons perform robotic thyroidectomy, a surgery to remove all or part of the thyroid gland. The study will include 200 adults with thyroid cancer or benign thyroid nodules who are having this robotic surgery. Researchers will track complications like nerve injury and low calcium levels, as well as surgery time and pain, to see if the new scoring tool accurately measures surgical skill.
