About

To study the protective effect of suture parathyroid marker method on the function of parathyroid gland in thyroid cancer surgery

Full description

This is a prospective randomized controlled study.In the experimental group, the suture parathyroid marker method was used to mark the parathyroid gland at the first time when it shows, and this marker was further used to identify and locating the inferior parathyroid marker in subsequent central region dissection. In the control group, the central area was routinely cleaned without suture parathyroid marker .

Enrollment: 400 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 70 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Patients with thyroid cancer who need central compartment dissection
• Routine neck incision surgery
• Patients undergoing primary neck surgery

Exclusion criteria

• Benign thyroid tumor patients
• Selecting patients with endoscopes, small incisions, or robotic surgery
• Patients with hyperparathyroidism

Trial design

Primary purpose: Prevention

Allocation: Randomized

Interventional model: Parallel Assignment

Masking: Quadruple Blind

---

400 participants in 2 patient groups

Control group

No Intervention group

Description:

Routine thyroidectomy and central lymph node dissection

Parathyroid marker group

Experimental group

Description:

When the lower parathyroid gland is first seen, the parathyroid gland is sutured with a suture during the operation, and then during this subsequent cleaning, rapid parathyroid localization and parathyroid glands are performed through this marker.

Treatment:

Procedure: The suture marks the location of the parathyroid gland
