Outcomes included operative time, major (permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury, permanent hypoparathyroidism, hematoma, conversion to open surgery), and minor complications. The TOETVA cohort was stratified into body mass index (BMI) classes of underweight\/normal &lt;\u200925\u00a0kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, overweight 25\u201329.9\u00a0kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, and obese \u2265\u200930\u00a0kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> for comparative analysis.

Surgical technique (TOETVA vs TCA) did not alter the odds of cumulative complication (OR 0.69 95% CI [0.26\u20131.85]) on logistic regression analysis. In the TOETVA cohort, higher BMI did not lead to a significantly greater odds of cumulative complication, 0.52 (95% CI [0.17\u20131.58]) and 1.69 (95% CI [0.74\u20133.88]) for the overweight and obese groups, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>TOETVA can be performed in a North American patient population without a difference in odds of complication compared to TCA.
