Abstract
Background: Both endoscopic thyroid lobectomy and conventional thyroid lobectomy are effective modalities for treating papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). However, their respective psychological and sleep quality ramifications in patients remain largely unexplored.
Materials and methods: Patients diagnosed with PTMC who underwent thyroid lobectomy at our institution between July 15, 2021, and July 15, 2022, were prospectively recruited. Psychological distress and sleep quality were assessed at five intervals (hospital admission, hospital discharge, and 1, 3, and 6 months posttreatment) utilizing four validated scales. The PTMC patients who completed the questionnaires diligently were subsequently categorized into either the endoscopic thyroid lobectomy group (trial group) or the conventional thyroid lobectomy group (control group). A propensity score matching (PSM) cohort was then established to examine longitudinal and cross-sectional alterations in psychological parameters.
Results: Out of 602 eligible PTMC patients, 560 individuals completed all the questionnaires diligently during the follow-up period (response rate: 93.02%). This cohort comprised 176 patients (31.43%) who underwent endoscopic thyroid lobectomy and 384 patients (68.57%) who underwent conventional thyroid lobectomy. Following PSM, a comprehensive set of 176 matched patient pairs was successfully established. Both groups of patients exhibited a decline in sleep quality throughout the 6-month postoperative follow-up period; however, patients in the control group experienced concomitant elevation in anxiety levels. The PSQI scores of patients in the control group were markedly higher than those in the trial group across all follow-up time points, whereas the HAMA, HADS, and HEI scale scores did not significantly differ between the two groups.
Conclusions: In terms of sleep quality and psychological well-being, endoscopic thyroid lobectomy is superior to conventional thyroid lobectomy for PTMC patients.

Articles will be accepted based on peer-reviews, priority, and editorial decision. Invited reviews, mini-reviews and viewpoints on relevant pathophysiological and clinical topics, as well as Editorials on articles appearing in the Journal, are published. Unsolicited Editorials will be evaluated by the editorial team. Outcomes of scientific meetings, as well as guidelines and position statements, may be submitted. The Journal also considers special feature articles in the field of endocrine genetics and epigenetics, as well as articles devoted to novel methods and techniques in endocrinology.
Endocrine covers controversial, clinical endocrine issues. Meta-analyses on endocrine and metabolic topics are also accepted. Descriptions of single clinical cases and/or small patients studies are not published unless of exceptional interest. However, reports of novel imaging studies and endocrine side effects in single patients may be considered. Research letters and letters to the editor related or unrelated to recently published articles can be submitted.
Endocrine covers leading topics in endocrinology such as neuroendocrinology, pituitary and hypothalamic peptides, thyroid physiological and clinical aspects, bone and mineral metabolism and osteoporosis, obesity, lipid and energy metabolism and food intake control, insulin, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hormones of male and female reproduction, adrenal diseases pediatric and geriatric endocrinology, endocrine hypertension and endocrine oncology.
