NCT ID NCT07235553
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new ultrasonic surgical system designed to cut and seal tissue during thyroid cancer surgery. Researchers compared its performance and safety to standard methods in 136 patients. The goal was to see if the new tool works just as well for helping surgeons remove cancer safely.
