Scar-Free thyroid surgery could match traditional open surgery
NCT ID NCT07654322
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two surgical approaches for unilateral thyroid cancer: a newer, scar-free endoscopic technique through the armpit versus standard open neck surgery. Researchers will track complications, recovery time, and patient satisfaction in 400 adults aged 18-70 with early-stage papillary thyroid cancer. The goal is to see if the less visible approach is as safe and effective as the traditional method.

Active substance
surgery
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a scar-free, minimally invasive surgery is as safe and effective as traditional open surgery for thyroid cancer, offering better cosmetic outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is an observational comparison, not a randomized trial, so results may be influenced by patient choice. Long-term outcomes like cancer recurrence are still being tracked.
