A comparative study of the surgical outcomes between video-assisted and open lateral neck dissection for papillary thyroid carcinoma with lateral neck lymph node metastases

Video-assisted lateral neck dissection (VALND) for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with lateral neck lymph node metastases (LNM) has been described previously, however, the advantages and drawbacks of VALND have not been demonstrated in previous studies. The aim of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of video-assisted and open lateral neck dissection for PTC with lateral neck LNM.
