Robotic thyroidectomy using a transaxillary endoscopic approach offers a minimally invasive surgical option for thyroid tumors. This technique avoids carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation, enhancing patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Increasing incidence of thyroid tumors necessitates advanced surgical techniques.
  • Improved diagnostic imaging leads to earlier tumor detection.
  • Shift towards minimally invasive procedures in thyroid surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the technique of robotic thyroidectomy.
  • To detail the transaxillary endoscopic approach.
  • To highlight the CO2-insufflation-free method.

Main Methods:

  • Robotic thyroidectomy procedure.
  • Transaxillary endoscopic approach.
  • Absence of carbon dioxide insufflation.

Main Results:
