Abstract
The numbers of thyroid surgeries have been increasing recently. Robot-assisted thyroidectomy allows for a better cosmetic outcome in comparison with conventional open thyroidectomy. We performed two robot-assisted endoscopic thyroidectomies by a gasless unilateral axillo-breast approach using the da Vinci surgical robot system. We performed right thyroid lobectomies in both patients. The pathologic reports were: micropapillary carcinoma without extracapsular invasion in patient 1 and a benign cyst in patient 2. The operation times were 165 minutes in patient 1 and 110 minutes in patient 2. No postoperative complications occurred. Regarding our early experience, robotic thyroidectomy using the gasless axillo-breast approach is a safe, feasible, and cosmetically good procedure.
