    ObjectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy and surgical effects of the anterior low small incision and the traditional incision in the treatments of thyroid adenomas.MethodsEighty cases of thyroid adenoma patients were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group. Forty patients in the control group received the traditional incision, whereas the experimental group received the anterior low small incision treatment. The clinical efficacy and complications were compared between these two groups.ResultsThe surgeries were all successfully completed. The surgical blood loss, incision length, length of stay, patient satisfaction and health care costs in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the control group, with differences statistically significant (P < 0.05).ConclusionsThe advantages of the anterior low small incision in the treatment of thyroid adenoma patients include smaller incision, lower costs, and fewer complications, when compared with the traditional incision.
