Surgical Competency for Robot-Assisted Thyroidectomy: Construction and Validation of a Robotic Thyroidectomy Assessment Score (RTAS)

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Observations on clinicopathological factors influencing the assessment score of surgery: Age, body mass index, gender, thyroid function parameters, lesion size, lesion location, ultrasound data

Study summary

To develop and validate a structured scoring tool (robotic thyroidectomy assessment score, RTAS) for assessing and quantifying surgical performance in robotic thyroidectomy (RT).

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Number of participants with recurrent laryngeal nerve injury — through study completion, an average of 1 year
  impaired vocal cord mobility confirmed by postoperative laryngoscopy
• Number of participants with hypoparathyroidism — through study completion, an average of 1 year
  a postoperative parathyroid hormone level of less than 10 pg/ml
• Operative time — through study completion, an average of 1 year
  operative time was defined as the duration from incision to closure, and was collected from anesthesia record sheet
• Score for surgical competence — at the end of robotic thyroidectomy
  score evaluated by the proposed assessment system
