Robotic Bilateral Axillo-Breast Approach

Developed for scarless neck surgery and conceived as a modification of the axillo-bilateral breast approach, bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) is method extracervical endoscopic thyroidectomy that currently one most popular techniques in world. Since da Vinci robotic system was used to overcome many technical disadvantages BABA thyroidectomy, indications thyroidectomy(BABA-RT) could be largely extended, include low-risk differentiated thyroid carcinoma <4 cm diameter, benign nodule or follicular neoplasm <8 diameter Graves’ disease. Even modified radical dissection can safely accomplished by BABA-RT. Candidates BABA-RT should carefully selected on basis pathology patient factors. uses midline thyroid, which provides symmetrical view lobes similar open so operation process familiar surgeons. Evidence supports comparable procedure terms completeness surgical resection rate perioperative complications. safe feasible when performed experienced surgeons patients concerned about scarring, but more expensive than surgery.
