Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Intercostal arterial bleeding	During surgery	The number of intercostal artery bleeding
Thyroidectomy time	During surgery	Time to complete removal of thyroid gland specimens starting from the establishment of the operating space (minutes)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
