Objectives: incidental thyroid nodules (ITNs) are found in up to 25% of CT scans. Increased use of cross-sectional imaging has contributed to the increased incidence of thyroid cancer worldwide. ITNs pose a management dilemma since nodule malignancy rate is 5-15% but most cancers are indolent and prognosis in differentiated thyroid cancer is excellent.

We piloted total perioperative telemedicine (TPT) visits for evaluating patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and environmental impact of TPT by comparing the perioperative and environmental outcomes of patients participating in TPT to those undergoing traditional in-person preoperative evaluations.
