Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Despite immense interest, robotic-assisted thyroidectomy (RT) remains controversial in differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). This systematic review and meta-analysis compared surgical completeness and/or oncological outcomes between RT and open thyroidectomy (OT) in low-risk DTC.
