Robotic thyroidectomy offers high cosmetic satisfaction and quality of life. This systematic review confirms the safety and feasibility of robotic thyroid surgery, showing no increased complication rates compared to traditional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrine Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Robotic surgery presents a novel approach to thyroidectomy.
  • Evaluating the safety and feasibility of robotic thyroidectomy is crucial.

Approach:

  • A systematic review of 68 studies involving 14,433 patients was conducted.
  • Key endpoints included operative duration, hospital stay, complications, pain, and cosmetic satisfaction.

Key Points:

  • Operative duration ranged from 89 to 230 minutes.
  • Hospital stay varied from 0.1 to 5.6 days.
  • Complication rates were between 7.3% and 29%, with pain scores from 0.6 to 4.71.

Conclusions:

  • Robotic thyroidectomy demonstrates high cosmetic satisfaction and improved quality of life.
