Abstract:Abstract: Objective?To explore the safety and efficacy of applied the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery by integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in thyroid surgery through the areola channel, then refine and tailor the program to optimize the thyroid surgery rehabilitation.?Methods?117 patients treated with thyroid surgery from January 2015 to December 2018 were divided into control group (n?=?58) and treatment group (n?=?59) according to the random method. The control group received routine treatment after operation, the treatment group were treated by Taohong Siwu Decoction and external application of Ruyi Jinhuang Plaster on the basis of routine treatment. The clinical indexes of the two groups were compared.?Results?The drainage volume of the treatment group was significantly lower than control group in the first 3 days after operation, and the drainage tube indwelling time was shorter than that in control group (P?0.05). The postoperative pain score was no significant difference between the two groups (P?>?0.05), but the duration of pain in the experimental group was significantly shorter than that in control group (P?0.05). The TSH increased of the two groups after surgery, but the treatment group returned to normal level’s time was significantly shorter than that in control group (P?0.05); There was no significant difference in transient hypoparathy roidism and temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy between the two groups,but the recovery time was shorter in the treatment group. The hospitalization time and hospitalization expenses of the treatment group were lower than that in control group (P?0.05).?Conclusion?The concept of enhance recovery after surgery by integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine has fewer complications in the operation of thyroid surgery through areola channel. The postoperative recovery is faster and the cost is lower. It is worthy of widespread promotion, but the specific implementation plan needs further optimization.
