Procedure Steps

Pre-op: neck US + FNA + thyroid scan + TSH/T4 + vocal cord assessment

General anesthesia + recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring (IONM)

Transverse cervical incision 3-5cm (Kocher)

Subplatysmal flaps + strap muscle retraction

Systematic dissection: superior pole → inferior pole

RLN preservation + parathyroid preservation (autotransplant if devascularized)

Central and/or lateral lymph node dissection if carcinoma

I-131 radioactive iodine ablation 4-6 weeks post-op (30-150 mCi based on risk)

What is Total Thyroidectomy + I-131?

For differentiated thyroid cancer (papillary, follicular), total thyroidectomy plus selective neck dissection is followed by radioactive iodine (I-131) to ablate residual thyroid tissue and treat microscopic disease. Combined approach achieves excellent cure rates.

Why China?

High volume: PUMC Endocrine Surgery and Tianjin Cancer perform 3,000+ thyroidectomies/year
Cost: $5,500-$9,500 (surgery + I-131) vs. $20,000-$50,000 in the US
Robotic thyroidectomy: Transaxillary or transoral approach — no neck scar
IONM standard: Intraoperative nerve monitoring reduces RLN injury

Who is a candidate?

Differentiated thyroid cancer >1cm or multifocal
High-risk features: extrathyroidal extension, lymph node metastasis, vascular invasion
Pediatric or familial thyroid cancer
Medullary thyroid cancer (total thyroidectomy, no I-131)

Outcomes

5-year survival DTC: >98% for stages I-II, 90% stage III. Permanent hypoparathyroidism: 1-3%. Permanent RLN injury: <1% at expert centers. Recurrence rate: 5-15% lifetime (risk stratified).
