Comparing two energy devices for thyroid surgery
This study compares two ways of sealing blood vessels during thyroid surgery to see which one works better. If you are having your thyroid removed, this trial may help improve your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You are having part or all of your thyroid gland removed.
- Your thyroid condition is benign (non-cancerous) or a low-risk cancer.
- You are healthy enough to receive general anesthesia.
- You have not had previous neck surgery or radiation to the neck.

This trial compares two nerve-monitoring techniques used during a scarless thyroid surgery performed through the mouth (called TOETVA). It is for people with benign thyroid nodules or early-stage thyroid cancer that has not spread to lymph nodes.
This study compares a new, scarless mouth surgery for thyroid removal with the standard neck incision. It looks at how well each works and how safe they are.
This study compares two ways surgeons find the nerve that controls your voice box during thyroid surgery. The goal is to see which approach better protects the nerve, which can reduce the risk of voice changes after surgery.
This trial looks at a tool doctors can use to predict if a certain type of thyroid surgery (through the mouth or under the chin) will be challenging. It helps people who want less visible scarring after their thyroid cancer surgery.
This study looks at how the structures in the neck affect thyroid surgery outcomes. You may be asked about your diagnosis and pre-surgery neck imaging to better understand surgical safety for people with certain thyroid conditions.
This trial compares two types of neck surgery for people with papillary thyroid cancer that has spread to a small number of lymph nodes in the neck. The goal is to see if a less extensive lymph node removal works just as well as the standard more extensive surgery.
