Russell Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery AbstractObjectiveTo compare long‐term health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) after Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach (TOETVA) and transcervical approach (TCA) thyroidectomy.Study DesignProspective cohort study.SettingTertiary referral center.MethodsA web‐based survey was distributed to patients at our institution who met the criteria for TOETVA and underwent thyroidectomy by TOETVA or TCA between August 2017 and October 2021. All survey participants were at least 6 months postsurgery. Minors, non‐English speakers, and patients who received concomitant neck dissection or reoperative thyroidectomy were excluded from the study. The survey assessed quality of life through 4 standardized instruments: the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT‐10), the Voice Handicap Index (VHI‐10), and the Short Form Health Survey (SF‐36).ResultsA total of 108 TOETVA and 129 TCA patients were included in the study. The median age of respondents was 44 (36, 54; 25th, 75th percentile) years and median time from surgery to survey was 35 (22, 45; 25th, 75th percentile) months. TOETVA group DLQI (0.63 vs 0.99; P = .17), VHI‐10 (1.94 vs 1.67; P = .35), EAT‐10 (2.14 vs 2.32; P = .29), SF‐36 physical component (52.25 vs 51.00; P = .25), and SF‐36 mental component (47.74 vs 47.29; P = .87) scores were all similar to those of the TCA group. Scrutinizing specific DLQI questions, individuals in the TOETVA group were less self‐conscious of their skin as compared to the TCA group (Q2; 0.08 vs 0.26, P = .03).ConclusionLong‐term HRQOL after TOETVA is similar to TCA, with significantly lower skin‐related self‐consciousness. 10.1002/ohn.712 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
