Background: Despite ample of evidence regarding feasibility of simple drainless thyroid surgeries, the evidence of feasibility of such procedures in goiters and central neck dissections remains limited.
Methods: Patients undergoing total thyroidectomy (TT) between January 2017 and July 2022 were included. The study included two study groups: drainless TT with central neck dissection (CND) and drainless TT due to goiter, which were compared to two controls: non-goiter drainless TT and drained TT for goiter or with CND. Main outcome was post-operative seroma rate.
Results: 156 patients met the inclusion criteria for each of the group. No significant differences between groups were found for permanent hypocalcemia, and other complications. Post-operative seroma was found in nine patients (5.8%), all from study groups. No significant differences between groups were found for local infections, aspirations, post-discharge drain insertion.
Conclusions: Complex drainless thyroid surgeries, including goiter and CND, are feasible and do not seem to significantly increase rate of post-operative seromas or infections.

There is difference of opinion about the placement of the drain in thyroid surgeries, and, to the best of our knowledge, the efficacy of drainless total thyroidectomy regarding various parameters of thyroid lesions has not been well-established. To report our experience with drainless total thyroidectomy, and to define an appropriate patient population for its performance. This is a retrospective case analysis of the patients who underwent total thyroidectomy for intrathyroidal lesions with or without central neck dissection in a tertiary referral hospital (number = 74).

Objectives: We introduce surgical outcomes regarding 300 cases of robotic thyroidectomy using a bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA).
Methods: From April 2010 to October 2013, 300 patients who underwent robotic thyroidectomy were analyzed and compared with 300 cases of open total thyroidectomy. Robotic surgery was performed with a snake retractor to allow for complete central lymph node dissection.
