[Development and Clinical Application of Multifunctional Inflation-Free Lumpectomy Aid].

Abstract

To investigate the value of self-developed air-free laparoscopic auxiliary instruments in the clinical application of thyroid diseases. The clinical data of 70 transaxillary and 45 transareolar air-free laparoscopic surgeries for thyroid cancer and 40 conventional open surgeries were retrospectively compared. The transaxillary and transareolar laparoscopic groups had significantly longer operative times than the open group, while the postoperative satisfaction was higher in the endoscopic group than in the open group. This set of instruments has advantage of novel design, scientific structure, safe application. It can be compatible with a variety of thyroid and breast air-free laparoscopic procedures, which can promote the development and popularization of laparoscopic technology.
