Abstract:
With the advent of the new era of minimally invasive and precise surgeries, patients are not only pursuing the thoroughness of tumor removal but also increasingly demanding a better quality of life and mental health in the future. Thyroid malignancies are gradually becoming more common among younger individuals. Compared to the "suicidal" scars on the neck, the development of minimally invasive surgeries is an inevitable trend in the surgical treatment of thyroid malignancies. The robotic thyroid surgery system overcomes the limitations of laparoscopic surgery and occupies a dominant position in the development of minimally invasive surgery. This article discusses the current application of robotic technology in thyroid cancer, including surgical indications, suitable patient populations, surgical approaches, intraoperative auxiliary methods, and the prevention and treatment of surgical complications.
