• Minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy
• conventional thyroidectomy
• immune response

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the immune response between the minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT) and conventional thyroidectomy (CT). Methods: An exhaustive literature search was performed in the Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library to identify the randomized controlled trials comparing the immune response between MIVAT and CT. Relevant data were extracted and statistical analysis was done using RevMan 5.0. Results: Twelve trials including 389 patients were identified. Immune-competent cells demonstrated no significant differences between MIVAT and CT. The including trails were assessed various perioperative plasma cytokine concentrations with no significant differences in interleukin-6 (IL-6), T lymphocytes (CD4(+), CD8(+), CD4/CD8) and NK cells between the MIVAT and CT. However, meta-analysis showed lower counts on postoperative days at 72 h was showed lower C-reactive protein (CRP) level compared to the preoperation levels but showed no significant difference within 24 h in MIVAT S group compared with CT group. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) level after surgery within 24 h and 72 h showed lower TNF-alpha level after MIVAT surgery within 24 h and 72 h. Conclusions: This meta-analysis demonstrates that, MIVAT has less immune response outcomes and that it is a more ideal choice for the patients relative to the conventional surgery.
