Lobectomy vs total thyroidectomy for unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma with ipsilateral cervical lymph node metastasis
Our study indicated that there were no differences in recurrence and survival between unilateral PTC patients with IC-LNM treated with uLT or TT for the primary tumor. However, uLT group had a lower risk of postoperative complications and a lower hospitalization cost than TT group. Thus, for selected unilateral PTC patients with IC-LNM without other risk features, uLT could be recommended.
