Comparative short- and long-term outcomes of TOETVA, ETGUA, and COT in thyroid cancer: a propensity score-matched study
TOETVA demonstrated the shortest incision and the lowest VSS score, while both TOETVA and ETGUA showed the best wound satisfaction and specific domains of quality of life. However, TOETVA had the longest operation time, and ETGUA had the fewest lymph nodes dissected.
