Background
In this study, we evaluate a new flexible, single‐arm robotic system in performing thyroidectomy via a retroauricular approach.
Methods
Four fresh cadavers were used. Technical details of the new system are discussed, and the comprehensive surgical procedures are described step by step.
Results
This single‐port flexible system could be used to successfully perform retroauricular thyroidectomy...
Objective
Previously, we have reported the feasibility of retroauricular (RA) robotic thyroidectomy. Despite its promising surgical outcomes, there were certain intrinsic mechanical limitations inherent to the da Vinci Si System (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, California, U.S.A.). Since the advent of an upgraded model, the Xi System (Intuitive Surgical), we have actively incorporated the new model...
