Background Many remote-access approaches (RAAs) to the thyroid have been described to
circumvent anterior neck scarring, including the transaxillary, robotic facelift, and transoral …

Background This study compared the efficacy of robotic thyroidectomy via a gasless, axillary
approach with conventional cervical and endoscopic techniques by meta‐analysis. Methods …

Objectives: A series of remote access thyroidectomy techniques, some using a surgical
robot, have been introduced in the last decade. Most of these approaches require awkward …

Objectives: Robotic total thyroidectomy (TT) with modified radical neck dissection (MRND)
using a gasless transaxillary approach has been reported safe and effective in patients with …
