NCT ID NCT07055191
First seen Jan 20, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study compares a new surgical technique called TOETVA, which removes the thyroid through the mouth leaving no visible scar, to the standard anterior neck surgery. About 616 adults needing thyroid removal will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The main goal is to see if the new method is as safe as the standard one in terms of early complications like nerve damage or bleeding.

If successful, this could offer patients a thyroid surgery option with no visible neck scar, potentially improving quality of life and reducing stigma.
What could go wrong
This is an early comparative trial, and the new technique is more complex. It may have similar or higher complication rates, and results may not apply to all patients.
