Population-based studies have demonstrated that an increasing number of incidental
thyroid nodules are being identified. The corresponding increase in thyroid-based …

A glowing new era in cancer surgery may be dawning. Using fluorescently labelled markers,
surgical molecular navigation means that tumours and nerves can be displayed in real time …

Background: Remote-access techniques have been described over the recent years as a
method of removing the thyroid gland without an incision in the neck. However, there is …

Objective Most thyroid surgery in North America is completed via a cervical incision, which
leaves a permanent scar. Approaches without cutaneous incisions offer aesthetic …

Objective To define the learning curve for transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy via the
vestibular approach (TOETVA). Study Design Case series with planned data collection …

Background This study compared the efficacy of robotic thyroidectomy via a gasless, axillary
approach with conventional cervical and endoscopic techniques by meta‐analysis. Methods …

Background Many remote-access approaches (RAAs) to the thyroid have been described to
circumvent anterior neck scarring, including the transaxillary, robotic facelift, and transoral …

Background Robotic rectal surgery is gaining in popularity. We aimed to define the learning
curve of an experienced laparoscopic colorectal surgeon in performing robot-assisted rectal …
