Introduction: Endoscopic transaxillary gasless hemithyroidectomy (TAH) is one of several different hemithyroidectomy approaches. TAH has the advantage of better cosmesis compared to open surgery, although we have a lack of information about patient health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after TAH.

Aim: To evaluate HRQOL after TAH.

Aim: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates surgical outcome and safety results of conventional (OT) versus endoscopic transaxillary gasless thyroidectomies (ET).

Material And Methods: A systematic literature search was performed. The weighted mean differences or the odd ratios with corresponding 95% CIs were examined for surgical outcomes and complications.

Background: Many different studies have compared open and laparoscopic-endoscopic inguinal hernia repair techniques according to intraoperative and postoperative complications, recurrence rates, postoperative inguinal chronic pain, quality of life, and costs. Most of the researchers have compared these different inguinal hernia repair techniques using a visual analog scale, a short-form survey instrument, or patients' return-to-normal-activity time, but there is a lack of objective data concerning pelvic function recovery after these procedures.

Aim: To evaluate and compare real hip and leg function recovery times after the application of different inguinal hernia repair techniques using hip and leg mobility, strength, and stability testing for the first time.
