Abstract: Surgery is the main clinical treatment for papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC),and with the advancement of medical technology,PTC surgical treatment has made significant progress.However,there is still controversy in the academic community regarding the scope of PTC surgical resection and lymph node dissection.Moreover,as PTC shows a trend towards youthfulness,patients′ demands for surgical methods,surgical timing,surgical outcomes,and postoperative aesthetics are gradually increasing.Therefore,the choice of PTC surgical method needs to consider more aspects besides lesion resection and disease relief.This article reviews the progress and limitations of surgical treatment for PTC.
