  • Compared five SP approaches: SP-TORT, SP-TART/START, RA-SP, SPRA, and GOSTA.

    • Main Results:

    • SP robotic thyroidectomy shows comparable operative times, complication rates, and lymph node yields to conventional surgery.
    • Distinct cosmetic and ergonomic advantages were observed.
    • SP technology is feasible for modified radical neck dissection (MRND) in select cases.

    Conclusions:

    • The da Vinci SP system is a significant advancement in minimally invasive endocrine surgery.
    • Current evidence supports the safety, feasibility, and cosmetic benefits of SP robotic thyroidectomy for selected patients.
    • Further research is needed to refine instrumentation, optimize techniques, and gather long-term data for expanded indications.
