Abstract:
Axillary web syndrome is a self-limiting and frequently overlooked complication in the early postoperative period of axillary surgery. This entity has been described in breast cancer patients after axillary lymph node dissection. Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy is now becoming increasingly popular in part owing to the desire to avoid an obvious cervical scar. This procedure is a kind of axillary surgery, but there has been no report about axillary web syndrome after robotic transaxillary thyroidectomy. Here, we report on a 47-year-old female with axillary web syndrome after robotic transaxillary thyroid lobectomy.
