As a Cancer Surgeon, my constant endeavor is to push boundaries and explore newer domains in the field of surgical oncology. Continuing this pursuit, I recently performed a Robot-Assisted Total Thyroidectomy with Central Neck Dissection for a case of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC) using the RABIT (Robotic Axillo-Breast-Insufflation Thyroidectomy) approach.
Case Summary:
A 34-year-old female, teacher by profession, presented with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma. The procedure was completed successfully with a scarless outcome, normal postoperative voice, and complete oncological resection.
This case highlights the evolving role of robotic surgery in thyroid malignancies, offering excellent cosmetic results, precise dissection, and optimal oncological clearance while ensuring patient safety and satisfaction in selected cases.
