AI Article Synopsis
- Transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT) is becoming popular for thyroid surgery due to its minimally invasive nature and better cosmetic outcomes compared to traditional surgery.
- Most existing research on TORT is limited to small case studies or single-center reports, and there are currently no established clinical guidelines for its use.
- In response, a panel of experts in China has created a consensus document for TORT and related procedures to standardize practices and provide guidance based on recent literature and clinical experiences.
Article Abstract
The transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT) has been increasingly adopted for minimally invasive thyroid surgery and it has proved to have better cosmetic results and comparable surgical outcomes with open operations. Most reports on TORT are case series, or single center, small-sample controlled, retrospective studies, and clinical guidelines have not been established so far. To better promote the standardized implementation and widespread adoption of TORT in China, the expert panel have organized thyroid minimally invasive surgery experts and some robotic thyroidectomy experts in China jointly formulate the Chinese expert consensus on transoral vestibular approach robotic thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy (2024 edition) based on the latest relevant literature and clinical experiences from multiple centers. This consensus aims to provide guidance and reference for colleagues.
