This depends on individual circumstances. Generally, when performing thyroid surgery, there are two methods: open and minimally invasive, though the treatment procedures are largely similar. For nodules, we first need to determine their nature. If they are benign, then removal within a certain range during surgery may suffice. However, if intraoperative freezing suggests malignancy, then we face the issue of lymph node dissection, which could significantly prolong the duration of the surgery.
