Patient-reported outcomes by individuals with differentiated thyroid cancer who underwent minimal-access versus conventional open thyroidectomy: a real-world propensity score-matching study
The minimal-access group exhibited significantly superior postoperative PRO compared to the open group. Furthermore, the PRO trajectories of the two groups differed, with the minimal-access group demonstrating a considerably shorter recovery time. If better PRO is desired, minimal-access thyroidectomy may be preferred.
