BACKGROUND: Surgical excision of an ectopic lingual thyroid has traditionally been associated with significant morbidity and has therefore been reserved for patients with severe obstructive symptoms or suspected malignancy. Transoral robotic surgery ...

Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroid surgery avoids the need for a neck incision. It consists of thyroid lobectomy and isthmectomy for moderately large unilateral benign nodules. The surgical imperatives are the same as for conventional surgery, but ...
BACKGROUND: Retropharyngeal metastases are uncommon but a well-known location for regional spread of well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma (WDTC). Surgeon-performed, trans-oral ultrasound (SP-TO-US) and trans-oral robot-assisted surgical (TORS) excis...

OBJECTIVE: Robotic and endoscopic approaches have become more accepted in thyroid surgery, with current literature documenting the experience of high-volume centers. We adopted both approaches concurrently, and this series presents our initial experi...
BACKGROUND: Although many experiences using the da Vinci Robot System have been reported by several groups, there is substantial controversy over the role of the robot in thyroidectomy. We performed a systematic review and meta-analyses in order to e...
PURPOSE: Percutaneous tunneling (hydrodissection) in the neck and anterior chest in patients undergoing robotic thyroidectomy leads to significant hemodynamic responses such as increases in blood pressure and heart rate. We evaluated whether a single...
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: New approaches for robotic-assisted thyroidectomy, including the retroauricular approach, were recently described. We have modified the established surgical approach for retroauricular robotic thyroidectomy. Herein, we report o...
BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted thyroid surgery using a retroauricular approach was reported as a novel remote access technique for hemithyroidectomy. We report our experience with this remote access technique using a single incision in the retroauricul...
