The objectives of this study were to compare the surgical outcomes and quality of life between patients undergoing submental endoscopic thyroidectomy and those undergoing conventional thyroidectomy. The surgical outcomes and quality of life were recorded. Forty-eight patients were included in the study. Their ages ranged from 20 to 60 years. All patients underwent lobectomy, isthmectomy, or the combination of lobectomy and isthmectomy. Most histological diagnoses were benign (85.42%). The submental endoscopic thyroidectomy group showed better scores in the energy/fatigue, emotional wellbeing, and general health domains (p = 0.006, 0.041, and 0.004, respectively). There were no statistically significant differences in surgical outcomes between the submental endoscopic thyroidectomy and conventional thyroidectomy groups (p > 0.05). Submental endoscopic thyroidectomy is feasible, and permits a better quality of life in terms of the energy/fatigue, emotional wellbeing, and general health domains.
本研究的目的是比较接受颏下内镜甲状腺切除术的患者与接受传统甲状腺切除术的患者的手术结果和生活质量。记录手术结果和生活质量。48例患者纳入本研究。他们的年龄在20至60岁之间。所有患者均接受叶切除术、峡部切除术或叶切除术与峡部切除术联合手术。大多数组织学诊断为良性（85.42%）。颏下内镜甲状腺切除术组在精力/疲劳、情绪健康和总体健康领域的得分更高（分别为p = 0.006、0.041和0.004）。颏下内镜甲状腺切除术组与传统甲状腺切除术组的手术结果无统计学显著差异（p > 0.05）。颏下内镜甲状腺切除术是可行的，并且在精力/疲劳、情绪健康和总体健康领域能带来更好的生活质量。
