description Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the outcomes of patients undergoing video-assisted thyroidectomy versus those undergoing traditional open surgery. Methods: In this retrospective study, we reviewed the clinical records of 449 patients who underwent thyroid surgery at our institution between April 2017 and March 2022. Of these, 209 underwent video-assisted thyroidectomy, while 248 underwent traditional open surgery. After excluding those who received total thyroidectomy, central node dissection, or lateral node dissection, we focused our analysis on 136 patients with video-assisted lobectomy and 92 patients with traditional open surgery. We compared patient outcomes, including surgical results and adverse events, between these groups. Results: Significant differences were observed in the maximum tumor diameter between the video-assisted lobectomy and traditional open surgery groups. However, no significant differences were noted in surgical time, bleeding, or adverse events. Conclusion: Video-Assisted Neck Surgery (VANS) offers great cosmetic benefits and is comparable to traditional open surgery in terms of adverse events. Level of evidence: IV.
