Analysis of the effect of lateral cervical incision in the treatment of benign thyroid tumors
Objective To analyze the effect of lateral cervical incision in the treatment of unilateral be-nign thyroid tumor.Methods Clinical data of 120 patients with benign thyroid tumors admitted to Quzhou People's Hospital from August 2019 to August 2022 were collected.According to different surgical incisions,the patients were divided into the observation group and the control group with 60 cases in each group.The observation group underwent a lateral neck incision,and the control group underwent a low anterior neck arc incision.The operation time,incision length,intraoperative blood loss,drainage volume on the first day after surgery,length of hospital stay,visual analog scale score 12 h after surgery,and incidence of subcutaneous flu-id accumulation 24 h after surgery were compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in operation time between the two groups(P>0.05).Incision length,intraoperative blood loss,drainage volume on the first day after surgery,length of hospital stay,visual analog scale score at 12h after surgery,and incidence of subcutaneous effusion at 24h after surgery in the observation group were significant-ly better than those in the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusion The effect of lat-eral cervical incision in the treatment of unilateral benign thyroid tumor is good,the incision is beautiful,and the function of the neck is quickly restored.
