[Comparison the application of 3D versus 2D laparoscopic thyroidectomy via modified chest and mammary areola
Objective:
To explore the safety, effectiveness and feasibility of 3D laparoscopy in thyroidectomy via modified chest and mammary areola approach comparing with 2D.
Method:
Twenty six cases received 3D laparoscopic thyroidectomy (3D group) and 34 cases experienced 2D (2D group). We compared the indexes about general status, operation time, operative blood loss, duration and overall volume of postoperative drainage, complications, etc between two groups.
Result:
Eight cases of thyroid cancer were detected in 3D group and 3 cases in 2D group. While there was no statistical difference between two groups with respect to other observation indexes such as other general status, operation time, operative blood loss, duration and overall volume of postoperative drainage, complications, etc.
Conclusion:
3D laparoscopic thyroidectomy via modified chest and mammary areola approach is a safe, effective and feasible procedure, and it may substitute the place of 2D in the future.
