BACKGROUND: Postoperative hypoparathyroidism is a major complication of thyroidectomy, occurring when the parathyroid glands are inadvertently damaged during surgery. Although intraoperative images are rarely used to train artificial intelligence (AI...
OBJECTIVE: We used machine learning to develop and validate a multivariable algorithm allowing the accurate and early prediction of postoperative hypocalcemia risk.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The recurrence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is not unusual and associated with risk of death. This study is aimed to construct a nomogram that combines clinicopathological characteristics and ultrasound radiomics signatur...
OBJECTIVE: The Da Vinci Robot is the most advanced micro-control system in endoscopic surgical instruments and has gained a lot of valuable experience today. However, the technical feasibility and oncological safety of the robot over open surgery are...
With the progress of robotic transaxillary thyroid surgery (RTTS), the indications for this procedure have gradually expanded. This study presents the insights gained from performing 10,000 RTTS cases at a single institution, along with the expansion...
Monitoring healthcare processes, such as surgical outcomes, with a keen focus on detecting changes and unnatural conditions at an early stage is crucial for healthcare professionals and administrators. In line with this goal, control charts, which ar...
PURPOSE: Gasless robot-assisted transaxillary hemithyroidectomy (RATH) is regarded as an alternative surgical option for thyroid operations. However, the associated steep learning curve is a clinical concern. This study evaluated the learning curve o...

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...
