Objective To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of untransection of anterior cervical muscles assisted by ultrasonic scalpel in the treatment of benign thyroid neoplasma. Methods A total of 108 cases with benign thyroid tu-mor were randomly divided into treating group and control group. 62 cases in treating group were treated with the un-transection of anterior cervical muscles assisted by ultrasonic scalpel, while 46 cases in control group were treated with tradition thyroidectomy. The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative indicators of the two groups were analyzed. Results The average length of incision, operating time, blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, pain scores, scar scores and hospital time of treating group had significantly differences compared with control group (P<0.05). However, no significant difference was found in operative injuries and complications between the treating group and the control group (P>0.05). Conclusion Ultrasonic scalpel-assisted thyroidectomy is a safe and effective procedure for benign thy-roid diseases, with little trauma, less blood loss, and excellent cosmetic benefits.
