Robotic Retroauricular Thyroidectomy
Although RRT is generally recommended for thyroid lobectomies, both Byeon et al. and Kim et al. successfully performed total thyroidectomies, with or without neck dissection, using this technique[10,11]. They considered advanced lymph node metastases with extracapsular spread, and advanced thyroid cancer that invaded the surrounding tissues, as contraindications for the use of RRT. They did not...
متن کاملModified robotic-assisted thyroidectomy: an initial experience with the retroauricular approach.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS New approaches for robotic-assisted thyroidectomy, including the retroauricular approach, were recently described. We have modified the established surgical approach for retroauricular robotic thyroidectomy. Herein, we report our initial experience to identify challenges and limitations of this new surgical approach. STUDY DESIGN Prospective case series. METHODS This s...
متن کاملMinimal Endoscope-assisted Thyroidectomy Through a Retroauricular Approach: An Evolving Solo Surgery Technique
This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of minimal endoscope-assisted thyroidectomy (MEAT) through a retroauricular (RA) approach. Most of the thyroidectomy operative time was accounted for by direct visualization through the RA window, minimizing interference between surgical instruments. Endoscope use was minimized and limited to critical surgical aspects, including preserva...
متن کاملScarless endoscopic thyroidectomy: breast approach for better cosmesis.
An original technique for performing endoscopic thyroidectomy using a breast approach to avoid an operative scar in the neck was developed. The subcutaneous space in the breast area and the subplatysmal space in the neck were bluntly dissected through a 15-mm incision between the nipples, and CO2 was insufflated at 6 mm Hg to create the operative space. Three trocars were inserted at the breast...
متن کاملThe Novel Transvestibule Approach for Endoscopic Thyroidectomy: A Case Series
OBJECT To evaluate the feasibility of NOTES for thyroid by the transvestibule approach. METHODS Six patients diagnosed with benign thyroid diseases were enrolled and underwent transvestibule endoscopic thyroidectomy in our hospital from October 2013 to September 2014. RESULTS All 6 patients completed transvestibule endoscopic thyroidectomy successfully with no conversion to open surgery. Th...
