The use of HS during LL is as safe as conventional technique and may allow shorter operative time, lower lymphatic spillage, and faster decrease of pain.

RATT is safe and effective and could serve as a viable treatment modality in selected cases.

BE can be performed endoscopically, avoiding both the time necessary for qPTHa and its cost, with the same effectiveness, but might in few cases lead to the unjustified removal of parathyroid glands slightly enlarged but not necessarily pathologic.

RATT seems not to supersede MIVAT in terms of satisfaction when comparing two groups of patients undergoing thyroidectomy for benign disease.
