Summary
Agne et al. assessed transoral robotic thyroidectomy feasibility in cadavers using the Versius system. However, clinical application is questionable due to limitations in bleeding simulation and ergonomics.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Robotics
- Endocrine Surgery
- Anatomical Studies
Background:
- Transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT) is an emerging minimally invasive technique.
- The Versius robotic system offers potential for complex head and neck procedures.
- Cadaveric models are crucial for initial surgical technique evaluation.
