BACKGROUND: Endoscopic transaxillary approaches to thyroidectomy have been well described and gasless transaxillary endoscopic thyroidectomy (GTET) is the most popular method. However, this require a single long axillary incision which is longer than...
BACKGROUND: The extent of postoperative pain following transoral thyroidectomy is not well-understood and remains a subject of debate. This study aims to analyze and compare postoperative pain levels between patients undergoing transoral and conventi...
Since the introduction of the single-port (SP) robotic system, SP trans-axillary robot-assisted thyroidectomy (SP-TART) has been performed. We aimed to evaluate the safety and surgical outcomes of SP-TART in a consecutive series of 300 cases. We anal...
Thyroid surgery is characterized by large volumes and typically affects a young female population. Mini-invasive or remote access surgical techniques are born driven by the desire to improve aesthetic outcomes of the traditional technique, following ...
The Versius Surgical System is a next generation soft-tissue robot with instrument and endoscope arms split into individual modules. Despite its similarities with previous systems, the basic changes in the design raise concerns relating to the feasib...
Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy is widely performed in Asian countries, although it is still under discussion in the Western World. However, there have been few studies reporting on the learning curve of robot-assisted transaxillary thyroi...
BACKGROUND: Although transoral thyroidectomy has become popular in thyroid surgery, transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT) has only been successfully applied in a very small number of medical centers worldwide. In this video, we show a three-port TOR...
