Robotic transaxillary thyroidectomy: time to expand indications?

Abstract: In 2016, the American Thyroid Association published a statement on remote-access thyroid surgery claiming that it should be reserved to patients with thyroid nodule ≤ 3 cm, thyroid lobe < 6 cm and without thyroiditis. We retrospectively enrolled all patients who underwent robotic transaxillary thyroidectomy between February 2012 and March 2022. We compared surgical outcomes between patients who presented a thyroid gland with a nodule ≤ 3 cm, thyroid lobe < 6 cm and without thyroiditis (Group A) and patie… Show more

“…In parallel, remote access surgeries for thyroidectomies have developed and are increasingly used in the last two decades. Since its initial introduction of endoscopic neck surgery by Gagner in 1996, various remote-access techniques worldwide have integrated endoscopic and robotic approach for thyroidectomy; transaxillary approaches (TAA), retroauricular approaches and transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approaches (TOETVA) 2 6 . Their surgical applications have expanded to encompass the treatment of malignant tumors.…”
