What this Trial Is About
This study evaluates a thyroid-function-preserving alternative to routine total thyroidectomy for bilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Eligible adults undergo remote-access gas-less axillo-breast endoscopic hemithyroidectomy with level VI dissection on the dominant side, followed by ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of a ≤7 mm contralateral focus during the same anesthesia. Outcomes include structural-recurrence-free survival, endocrine-function preservation, safety, and quality of life over 24 months.
