Abstract：Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the new posture method of hemithyroidectomy on reducing the posture symptom of thyroid surgery. Methods: Clinical data of 81 patients who underwent hemithyroidectomy and 132 patients who had traditional thyroidectomy from June 2019 to December 2019 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The gender (33/99 vs. 20/61, P=1.000), age [(52.4±9.4)y vs. (51.5±10.2)y, P=0.546], bleeding [(16.80±2.64)mL vs. (16.72±2.61)mL, P=0.815] and operation time[(64.25±5.45)min vs. (63.00±6.58)min, P=0.135] of the two groups of patients had no statistical difference.Compared with the traditional surgery group, the patients who undergone hemithyroidectomy had shorter incision (6.47±0.78)cm vs. (4.93±0.32)cm, P<0.001], less posture symptom of thyroid surgery (surgical tolerance 42.4% vs.16.0%, P<0.001; headache 61.4% vs. 24.7%, P<0.001; nausea and vomiting 49.2% vs. 17.3%, P<0.001) and better surgical field exposure (Level 1 exposure rate 49.2% vs. 72.8%, P=0.001). Conclusion: The new posture method of hemithyroidectom, which is safe and feasible, can effectively reduce the occurrence of the posture symptom of thyroid surgery.
