My wife's thyroid tumor needs surgery. Is minimally invasive surgery better or surgery? How much is the cost of a normal operation?

Hello! I also got this disease in 2006. I chose surgery at that time. Now the wound is healing well, and the cost of surgery is lower than that of minimally invasive surgery. At that time, I had an operation in a third-class hospital and stayed in the hospital for a week, which cost about 8,000 yuan. After the operation, I still took the medicine for half a year. The doctor said that it is not easy to relapse after taking the medicine, but recently I went to do a B-ultrasound and found a small lump. I don't know if it's a thread or a relapse. Anyway, this disease is easy to recur. I'm working on it now. I may go to see Chinese medicine!
