Robotic thyroidectomy via bilateral axillo-breast approach: Experience and learning curve through initial 220 cases.

CONCLUSION: For skilled endocrine surgeons, robotic thyroidectomy has proved to be safe and feasible, which could be applied extensively in patients strictly selected in high-volume centers, with a relatively short learning curve of about 30-35 cases. While the surgeons getting more experienced, this technique would be more efficient. PMID: 31402083 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
