We evaluate the feasibility and preliminary results of our experience of this technique in a cohort of patients from within a single European university hospital (N\u00eemes, France). Methods: We performed a retrospective review of the first 23 patients, treated consecutively between September 2010 and June 2012. Results: Nine patients underwent total thyroidectomy and 14 patients lobectomies. All procedures were completed successfully with a mean total operative time of 134 min. We observed a single case of internal jugular vein injury during the console time. No instances of persistent complications were observed; however, minor postoperative events occurred in 5 patients. Pathological diagnoses included benign follicular adenoma in 18 patients, benign adenoma with lymphoid thyroiditis in 1 patient, and benign adenoma with Graves' disease in 4 patients. Conclusions: Robotic thyroid surgery is feasible in European patients and can be safely performed on selected patients. This technique has infrequent minor complications and provides a high level of satisfaction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000351111","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,28]],"date-time":"2013-06-28T03:04:52Z","timestamp":1372388692000},"page":"110-115","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-17","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Transaxillary Robotic Thyroid Surgery: A Preliminary European Experience"],"prefix":"10.1530","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Benjamin","family":"Lallemant","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Departments of Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital of N\u00eemes, N\u00eemes"},{"name":"4University of Montpellier I, Sud de France, Montpellier, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guillaume","family":"Chambon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Departments of Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital of N\u00eemes, N\u00eemes"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Camille","family":"Galy-Bernadoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Departments of Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital of N\u00eemes, N\u00eemes"},{"name":"4University of Montpellier I, Sud de France, Montpellier, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H\u00e9liette","family":"Chapuis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Departments of Pathology, University Hospital of N\u00eemes, N\u00eemes"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne-Marie","family":"Guedj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3Endocrinology, University Hospital of N\u00eemes, N\u00eemes"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huy Trang","family":"Pham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Departments of Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital of N\u00eemes, N\u00eemes"},{"name":"4University of Montpellier I, Sud de France, Montpellier, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Gabriel","family":"Lallemant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Departments of Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital of N\u00eemes, N\u00eemes"},{"name":"4University of Montpellier I, Sud de France, Montpellier, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Damien","family":"Rupp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Departments of Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital of N\u00eemes, N\u00eemes"},{"name":"4University of Montpellier I, Sud de France, Montpellier, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"416","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026070712424799900_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kang S-W, Jeong JJ, Yun J-S, Sung TY, Lee SC, Lee YS, et al: Robot-assisted endoscopic surgery for thyroid cancer: experience with the first 100 patients.
