Single-port, via a midline approach, Robotic Transaxillary Thyroidectomy (SMART-Thyroidectomy): description of the technique and evaluation of feasibility in the first case series
The Da Vinci SP system has recently been applied to remote-access robotic thyroidectomy, enabling single-port (SP) surgery with enhanced instrument articulation. We evaluated the feasibility of a novel Single-incision, via a Midline Approach, Robotic Transaxillary Thyroidectomy (SMART-T), which combines the cosmetic ad...
