In this study, a randomized controlled study was conducted between two groups of 40 recipients of conventional flap during BABA robotic-thyroidectomy and 40 recipients of Mini-flap method during BABA robotic-thyroidectomy. In this study, we tried to determine whether the use of Mini-flap can reduce sensory loss and pain after BABA robotic-thyroidectomy.

Postoperative pain measured using a visual analog scale
Postoperative pain was assessed using a visual analog scale ranging from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater pain.
Time frame: 2, 24, 48, and 72 hours after surgery
Rescue analgesic use
Number of additional doses of ketorolac administered for postoperative pain.
Time frame: 2, 24, 48, and 72 hours after surgery
Change from baseline in sensory function as measured by Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments
Sensory function was assessed using six Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments to measure pressure detection thresholds in four predefined anatomical regions: the superior anterior neck, inferior anterior neck, right anterior chest, and left anterior chest.
Time frame: 1 day before surgery and 1, 6 and 12 months after surgery
Incidence of vocal cord palsy
Check vocal cord palsy that means injury of the recurrent laryngeal nerve with a direct laryngoscope
Time frame: before surgery, 1 day after surgery, 2, 6 weeks after surgery, 6 month, 1year after surgery
change from baseline in Hypoparathyroidism, as measured by parathyroid hormone level
check PTH (parathyroid hormone) level
Time frame: before surgery, 1 day after surgery, 2, 6 weeks after surgery, 6 month, 1year after surgery
