Transoral robotic excision of ectopic lingual thyroid: Case series and literature review.

Head & neck
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 ...

Robotic thyroidectomy versus conventional open thyroidectomy for differentiated thyroid cancer: meta-analysis.

The Journal of laryngology and otology
OBJECTIVE: To conduct a meta-analysis to compare the short-term outcomes of robotic thyroidectomy and conventional open thyroidectomy for differentiated thyroid cancer.

Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy: surgical technique.

European annals of otorhinolaryngology, head and neck diseases
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 ...

Transaxillary thyroidectomies: a comparative learning experience of robotic vs endoscopic thyroidectomies.

Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
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...

Surgical safety and oncologic effectiveness in robotic versus conventional open thyroidectomy in thyroid cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Annals of surgical oncology
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...

Preoperative dexmedetomidine attenuates hemodynamic responses to hydrodissection in patients undergoing robotic thyroidectomy.

Journal of anesthesia
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...

A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating completeness and outcomes of robotic thyroidectomy.

The Laryngoscope
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 ...

Modified robotic-assisted thyroidectomy: an initial experience with the retroauricular approach.

The Laryngoscope
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...

Retroauricular robotic thyroidectomy with concomitant neck-lift surgery.

Annals of surgical oncology
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...
