Introduction: Transoral Robotic Thyroidectomy (TORT) is progressively gaining its ground in robotic thyroid surgery. With accumulated techniques and developments, TORT can also be applied for completion thyroidectomy. We review our experience with the transoral robotic approach to completion thyroidectomy to evaluate the safety and surgical feasibility.
Methods: Consecutive patients receiving completion TORT operation were evaluated from a prospective database. Descriptive and quantitative data were analyzed.
Results: Completion TORT operations were performed on 10 patients between February 2017 and November 2020. There were seven female and three male patients with a mean overall age of 42.2±13.5 years. A mean overall interval between operations was 49.2±73.6 months and average operation time of completion TORT thyroidectomy was 148.3±19.7 minutes. No complications occurred in all ten surgeries, and no surgery was converted to open surgery.
Conclusion: We preliminary show the feasibility of completion robotic transoral thyroidectomy. From the initial results, it is suggested that completion lobectomy using transoral robotic approach is a safe and feasible method with excellent cosmesis and minimal adverse effect.
