A robotic system with robotic arms and equipment is controlled by the surgeon during robotic thyroid surgery from a console. Beyond what is possible with human hands alone, the robotic arms can grasp and handle the surgical instruments with greater precision and range of motion. Using hand and foot controls, the surgeon can manipulate the robotic arms while viewing a three-dimensional magnified image of the surgery area on a console.

The robotic devices are inserted into the neck during the treatment through tiny incisions made by the surgeon. The surgeon then uses the robotic arms under remote control to execute additional required surgical procedures, such as dissecting and removing the thyroid gland. The surgery may involve a partial thyroidectomy (removal of only a small piece of the gland) or a complete thyroidectomy (removal of the entire gland).

Robotic thyroid surgery, commonly referred to as a robot-assisted thyroidectomy, is carried out for a number of reasons, including

1)Removal of Thyroid Nodules : Thyroid nodules are one of the main causes of robotic thyroid surgery. Nodules are abnormal growths that can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) in the thyroid gland. With minimal scarring and potential harm to neighboring tissues, robotic surgery makes it possible to remove nodules precisely.

2) Treatment for Thyroid Cancer : Robotic thyroid surgery may be utilized to handle thyroid cancer. It permits the removal of malignant thyroid tissue while lowering the size of the incisions and having less of an effect on surrounding tissues, such as the parathyroid glands and the recurrent laryngeal nerves.

3) Cosmetic Considerations : Robotic thyroid surgery is frequently selected due to its favorable cosmetic outcomes. Compared to open surgery, which uses larger incisions, robotic surgery uses smaller incisions and leaves less visible scars. This may be crucial for people who are worried about the procedure's cosmetic results.

4)Patient Comfort and Recovery : Robotic thyroid surgery uses small incisions and is a less invasive technique. Compared to open surgery, it often provides less discomfort, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery. Patients frequently return to their regular activities sooner and may have less pain after surgery.

5)Patients at High Risk : For patients who have a high risk of problems from open surgery, robotic thyroid surgery may be an option. Patients with obesity, lung or heart issues, or history of neck surgery may fall under this category.
