Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • 1. Patients ≥18 years of age
  • 2. Patients undergoing initial partial or complete thyroid lobectomy
  • 3. English and non-English speaking patients are eligible
  • 1. Increased risk of bleeding (e.g., Aspirin, antiplatelet therapy, or anticoagulation that cannot be held 5 days before surgery, baseline thrombocytopenia \<50,000/µL)
  • 2. Pre-existing medical comorbidities or poor performance status (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status \>2) that would otherwise dictate overnight in-hospital postoperative observation
  • 3. Increased distance of residence from index hospital (\>50 miles) or inability to stay within the targeted area (\<50 miles) postoperatively prohibiting timely return to the index hospital in emergent situations
  • 4. Lives alone or unable to independently perform Activities of Daily Living and no available caregiver in the immediate postoperative period (POD 0-3)
  • 5. Pregnant women will not be included in this study
