Abstract

Thyroidectomy vestibular approach-compartment lymph node dissection is a feasible and safe option for select patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma who require central node dissection compared with Open-compartment lymph node dissection, and can be a viable alternative for patients wishing to avoid a visible scar.
