Official Title: Comparative Study of Surgical Completeness After Robotic Thyroidectomy Versus Conventional Open Thyroidectomy

Brief Summary: The robotic thyroidectomy (RT) has excellent cosmetic and several functional results. But there were no definite evidence of oncological safety of robotic thyroidectomy yet. To assure the surgical completeness of robotic thyroidectomy, the investigators compared robotic thyroidectomy and conventional open thyroidectomy (OT) by means of the postoperative radioactive iodine (RAI) uptake of possible remnant thyroid tissue and stimulated TG level.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Yonsei University

Current Primary Outcome: surgical completeness of conventional open thyroidectomy and robotic thyroidectomy [ Time Frame: 12 months after low dose RAI albation therapy ]

check remnant thyroid uptake at Diagnostic RAI scan and stimulated serum thyroglobulin level


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:
