Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
An observational cross-sectional case-control study on the postoperative quality of life (5 aspects, general quality of life, thyroid specific quality of life, scar appearance, voice and swallowing functions) of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients underwent thyroid lobectomy via different approach, open vs trans-axillary. The patients are recruited in Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) from 2020 to 2023 and are evaluated by follow-up with both outpatient visits and questionnaires made up of 9 validated scales.

- Cosmetic outcomes
- timeFrame
- up to 3 years after surgery
- description
- The primary outcome will be evaluated by scores of cosmetic outcomes of PTC patients underwent thyroid lobectomy via different surgical approach up to 3 years after surgery. The scores are evaluated by a follow-up questionnaire made up of cosmetic outcome via scale of PSAQ. Scores will be compared in case and control groups. Lower scores in PSAQ indicate poorer outcomes in this field.
