In 2016, the American Thyroid Association published a statement on remote-access thyroid surgery claiming that it should be reserved to patients with thyroid nodule ≤ 3 cm, thyroid lobe < 6 cm and without thyroiditis.
We retrospectively enrolled all patients who underwent robotic transaxillary thyroidectomy between February 2012 and March 2022.
We compared surgical outcomes between patients who presented a thyroid gland with a nodule ≤ 3 cm, thyroid lobe < 6 cm and without thyroiditis (Group A) and patients without these features (Group B).
The rate of overall complications resulted comparable ( p = 0.399), as well as the operative time ( p = 0.477) and the hospital stay ( p = 0.305).
Moreover, bleeding resulted associated to thyroid nodule > 3 cm ( p = 0.015), although all bleedings but one occurred in the remote-access site from the axilla to the neck.
In experienced hands, robotic transaxillary thyroidectomy is feasible and safe even in patients with large thyroid nodules or thyroiditis.
