Background: To evaluate the technical feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT), using the da Vinci system through analysis of our series of 1000 consecutive patients.Method: A review of a prospectively designed database at our institute from September 2012 to February 2022 revealed a series of 1000 consecutive TORT patients with preoperative diagnosis of various thyroid diseases. Clinicopathologic characteristics a...

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 dat...
