Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The robotic thyroidectomy (RT) has excellent cosmetic and several functional results. But there were no definite evidence of oncological safety of robotic thyroidectomy yet. To assure the surgical completeness of robotic thyroidectomy, the investigators compared robotic thyroidectomy and conventional open thyroidectomy (OT) by means of the postoperative radioactive iodine (RAI) uptake of possible remnant thyroid tissue and stimulated TG level.

    Arms and Interventions

    Arm Intervention/Treatment
    Group 1

    Group 1 : conventional open thyroidectomy group (papillary thyroid carcinoma patient who underwent conventional open bilateral total thyroidectomy procedure and postoperative low dose RAI therapy)

    Group 2
