Overview

Historically, performing a contralateral thyroid lobectomy and lymph node dissection via the subclavian approach was considered challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of single-incision gasless endoscopic total thyroidectomy and central compartment neck dissection via the subclavian approach (SCA) in comparison to conventional open surgery for the treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) retrospectively.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
