Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of sternocleidomastoid muscle intermuscular approach and neck white thread approach in the treatment of unilateral thyroid nodules. Methods Eighty patients with unilateral thyroid nodule who admitted to Xinhua Hospital of Xinhua Medical Group from June 2018 to April 2020 were selected as study objects. They were divided into observation group and control group according to the operation method, with 40 cases in each group. Control group was given the treatment through neck white thread approach, and observation group was given the treatment through sternocleidomastoid muscle intermuscular approach. The operation conditions were compared between the two groups, and the pain scores and incidence of complication three months after operation were compared between the two groups. Results There were no statistically significant differences in operation time, hospital stay and intraoperative blood loss between two groups (P > 0.05); the incision length of observation group was shorter than that of control group, and the difference was highly statistically significant (P < 0.01). The pain score of observation group was lower than that of control group, and the difference was highly statistically significant (P < 0.01). The total incidence of postoperative complications in observation group was lower than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Sternocleidomastoid muscle intermuscular approach does not increase the risk of surgery and prolong the hospital stay, and it can reduce the patient’s pain. It has obvious advantages in protecting the function of the anterior neck area of patients, fewer complications, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
