Meta-analysis Comparison of Bilateral Axillo-Breast Approach Robotic Thyroidectomy and Conventional Thyroidectomy.

CONCLUSIONS: BABA RT is safe and feasible and provides similar perioperative outcomes and complications when compared with OT. However, BABA RT was associated with longer operating time, fewer retrieved lymph nodes, and more cost. Randomized clinical trials with large samples and longer follow-up data are needed to more rigorously examine this effect. PMID: 30501575 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
