“…The common clinical symptom of thyroid tumor patients is that the mass is located in the front and middle of the neck [ 2 – 4 ]. Due to the influence of tumor mass, it will cause a series of complications in patients, including neck discomfort, dyspnea, hoarseness, and dysphagia, which seriously affects the patient, resulting in a significant decrease in the quality of life of patients [ 5 , 6 ].…”

Objective. Thyroid tumor is a common thyroid disease, and the incidence of complications after traditional thyroid surgery is high, which seriously affects the prognosis of patients. With the development of minimally invasive techniques, small incision surgery has a positive impact on changing the traditional thyroid surgery treatment. However, the gap between small incision surgery and traditional thyroid surgery is unclear, so this meta-analysis was used to evaluate its application value. Methods. Searching English biomedical databases, including PubMed and Science Network and Chinese major biomedical databases, including CNKI, Wanfang, and Weipu. The keywords of the searched articles are as follows: small incision surgery, traditional thyroid surgery, thyroid tumor treatment, clinical efficacy of thyroid tumor, and surgical treatment, and these keywords are searched individually or in combination to track relevant systematic reviews and literature meta-analysis, and conduct other studies. The retrieval period is from the establishment of the database to January 2022. After extracting the article data, the patients were divided into small incision surgery group and traditional thyroid surgery group due to different intervention methods. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to assess the quality of the included literature, and RevMan 5.30 was used for meta-analysis. Results. A total of 9 articles met the inclusion criteria. There were 369 patients with small incision surgery and 364 patients with traditional thyroid surgery. Compared with traditional thyroid surgery, patients treated with small incision surgery had significant short hospitalization time (MD −2.72, 95% CI (−3.32, −2.12)), less amount of bleeding (MD −15.52, 95% CI (−20.40, −10.65)), short incision length (MD −12.73, 95% CI (−16.29, −9.17)), lower VAS score (MD −2.58, 95% CI (−4.08, −1.08)), and less complications (RR 0.30, 95% CI (0.21, 0.44)). Conclusion. Compared with traditional thyroid surgery, the results show that small incision surgery can shorten the hospital stay of patients with thyroid tumor, reduce the length of incision, reduce the amount of bleeding and the occurrence of complications, reduce postoperative pain, and have a positive effect on postoperative survival of patients.
