Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of robotic thyroidectomy (RT) with super-meticulous capsular dissection against traditional open thyroidectomy (OT) using a dynamic risk assessment system that includes radioactive iodine evaluation.
- Research included 2,349 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy and were assessed for surgical completeness and complications, with results indicating no significant differences in metastatic lymph node removal and surgical completeness between the two techniques.
- Key findings revealed that RT had significantly lower rates of parathyroid gland transplantation and fewer hypoparathyroidism cases compared to OT, although both methods showed similar overall dynamic risk scores post-surgery.
