Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Neck configuration is a key determinant of thyroidectomy difficulty, yet it lacks a simple, reproducible definition for research, risk stratification, and operative planning. A short, thick neck is intuitively associated with limited exposure and longer operative times, but evidence has been largely anecdotal. METHODS: In a prospective single-center observational cohort, 843 consecutive adults...
