ABSTRACT
Transoral approach for thyroidectomy recently gains a lot of attention among the thyroid surgeons, with definite merits over previously developed remote-access approaches. The approach not only resulted in the ideal cosmetic outcome but less postoperative pain with smaller dissection plane in comparison with other approaches. We have successfully introduced the robotic surgical system and its related techniques to this transoral surgical approach for thyroidectomy, which enables the surgeon to have the three-dimentional operative vision and to use the articulating instruments to enhance th eoptimal surgical outcomes. Herein, our unique procedures of transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT) are described, and possible advantages and disadvantages of the operation are discussed.
