Abstract:

Objective To explore the clinical eff ect of total thyroidectomy combined with central and lateral neck lymph node dissection in the treatment of thyroid cancer. Method Fifty patients with thyroid cancer admitted to Hainan District People’s Hospital in Wuhai City from January 2022 to January 2024 were selected and random-ly divided into two groups, with 25 patients in each group. The control group underwent total thyroidectomy plus central lymph node dissection, while the study group underwent total thyroidectomy plus central and lateral neck lymph node dissection. The treatment eff ects of the two groups were compared. Result There was no signifi cant dif-ference in perioperative indicators and incidence of complications between the study group and the control group (P ＞ 0.05); The postoperative quality of life and recurrence rate of patients in the study group were signifi cantly better than those in the control group, with signifi cant diff erences (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Total thyroidectomy combined with lymph node dissection is an eff ective treatment for metastatic thyroid cancer, which can signifi cantly improve the clinical prognosis of patients and reduce the risk of recurrence.
