Overview
Brief Summary
The patients will be allocated to 2 groups: the LMA group and the endotracheal tube (ET) group. Airway management will be done with the LMA Protector for the patients of the LMA group and with the classic endotracheal tube for the patients of the ET group. The main purpose of the study is to determine if the application of the LMA Protector causes less laryngopharyngeal symptoms than the endotracheal tube after minimally invasive thyroidectomy. The secondary purpose is to confirm that the LMA Protector is a safe alternative airway management device for minimally invasive thyroidectomy.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Postoperative sore throat.
Time Frame: 24 hours after the exit from the recovery room.
The patients will be asked to evaluate their postoperative constant pharyngeal pain by using the 11grade Numerical Rating Scale (0 no pain, 10 maximum possible pain).
Postoperative surgical site pain.
Time Frame: 24 hours after the exit from the recovery room.
The patients will be asked to evaluate their postoperative surgical trauma pain by using the 11grade Numerical Rating Scale (0 no pain, 10 maximum possible pain).
Postoperative dysphagia.
Time Frame: 24 hours after the exit from the recovery room.
The patients will be asked to evaluate their postoperative pharyngeal pain caused after swallowing one sip of water by using the 11grade Numerical Rating Scale (0 no pain, 10 maximum possible pain).
Secondary Outcomes
