Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Postoperative Complications

Background:

  • Axillary web syndrome (AWS) is a known complication after axillary lymph node dissection, particularly in breast cancer surgery.
  • Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy is gaining popularity for thyroid procedures to minimize cervical scarring.
  • AWS has not been previously reported following robotic transaxillary thyroidectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the first known case of axillary web syndrome after robotic transaxillary thyroid lobectomy.
  • To raise awareness of AWS as a potential complication in this specific surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 47-year-old female patient.
  • Description of the patient's presentation with axillary web syndrome post-thyroid lobectomy.

Main Results:

  • The patient developed axillary web syndrome following robotic transaxillary thyroid lobectomy.
  • The condition was self-limiting, consistent with typical presentations of AWS.

Conclusions:

  • Axillary web syndrome can occur after robotic transaxillary thyroidectomy.
  • This finding expands the known surgical contexts associated with AWS and emphasizes the need for vigilance in patients undergoing transaxillary approaches.
