[Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroid surgery; 5 years later].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde
Five years ago, robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy (RATT) was introduced in the Netherlands. The major advantage of this technique, when compared to the conventional approach, is the prevention of a potentially disfiguring scar in the neck. I...

Ultra-Low-Dose Neck CT With Low-Dose Contrast Material for Preoperative Staging of Thyroid Cancer: Image Quality and Diagnostic Performance.

AJR. American journal of roentgenology
OBJECTIVE: Although CT has been used as a complementary diagnostic method for the preoperative diagnosis of thyroid cancer, it has the shortcomings of substantial radiation exposure and the use of contrast material (CM). The purpose of this article i...

Robotic Head and Neck Surgery: History, Technical Evolution and the Future.

ORL; journal for oto-rhino-laryngology and its related specialties
The first application of robotic technology in surgery was described in 1985 when a robot was used to define the trajectory for a stereotactic brain biopsy. Following its successful application in a variety of surgical operations, the da VinciĀ® robot...

Double hit! A unique case of resistant hypertension.

BMJ case reports
A middle-aged woman with obesity, hyperlipidaemia and diet-controlled diabetes was referred for resistant hypertension. Her blood pressure (BP) was uncontrolled on five medications, including a diuretic. Physical exam revealed a systolic ejection mur...

Papillary thyroid carcinomas with biochemical incomplete or indeterminate responses to initial treatment: repeat stimulated thyroglobulin assay to identify disease-free patients.

Endocrine
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients treated with thyroidectomy and radioiodine remnant ablation (RRA) often have detectable TSH-stimulated thyroglobulin (Tg) levels without localizable disease after primary treatment. To assess the value of repea...

Applications of Evolving Robotic Technology for Head and Neck Surgery.

The Annals of otology, rhinology, and laryngology
OBJECTIVE: Assess the use and potential benefits of a new robotic system for transoral radical tonsillectomy, transoral supraglottic laryngectomy, and retroauricular thyroidectomy in a cadaver dissection.
