ABSTRACT

The only consolidated approach for total thyroidectomy is Bilateral Axillo-Breast Approach Robotic Thyroidectomy (RTBABA), with experience in thousands of patients. It is a central, inferior approach that provides a surgical field similar to that of conventional open thyroidectomy, allowing the performance of total thyroidectomy and the treatment of lymph nodes on both sides of the neck. It uses high-definition cameras providing an unmatched image of the surgical field; in addition, it provides neuromonitoring to protect the recurrent and superior laryngeal nerves. A case of follicular thyroid adenoma managed with RT-BABA is presented, the first performed at the Angeles Leon Hospital.
