To compare TOETVA technique with conventional thyroidectomy in terms of post operative surgical complications, such as skin injury
Time Frame: 1 year
This outcome will be accessed by qualitative analysis
To compare TOETVA technique with conventional thyroidectomy in terms of post operative surgical complications, such as seroma formation
Time Frame: 1 year
This outcome will be accessed by qualitative analysis
To compare TOETVA technique with conventional thyroidectomy in terms of time of hospitalization
Time Frame: 1 year
This outcome will be accessed by number of days spent in the hospital
To compare TOETVA technique with conventional thyroidectomy in terms of post operative pain
Time Frame: 1 year
This outcome will be accessed by visual pain scale from grade 1 (better) to 10 (worse)
To compare TOETVA technique with conventional thyroidectomy in terms of operative time
Time Frame: 1 year
Operative time will be measured by minutes
