Renovated Prediction Model for Difficult Transoral and Submental Endoscopic Thyroidectomy
A Functional-oriented Modification of TOaST Based on Partial Preservation of the Lines Alba Cervical
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 8 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The investigators have previously proposed a prediction model for difficult transoral and submental thyroidectomy through a retrospective study. In order to better promote transoral and submental endoscopic approach for thyroid surgery and to set up an appropriate training course, the investigators aim to refine the procedure through a prospective study. As a procedure refinement, a modified strap-muscle dissection technique will be introduced during transoral and submental endoscopic thyroidectomy.
