Nevertheless, the time difference became insignificant after completing the initial 20 cases of transoral thyroidectomy. The drainage fluid collected after the surgery was serosanguinous, and a lower drainage volume was observed in the transoral group than that in the BABA group (64.9 vs. 78.5\u00a0ml, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.017).
