서론: 통상적인 갑상선 암 수술시 생기는 목의 전면에 있는 흉터를 피하기 위해 여러 다양한 수술 기법들이 고안되고 있다. 저자들이 고안한 로봇 내시경 갑상선 수술법으로 수술을 시행 받은 256예를 대상으로 기구의 변화와 더불어 로봇 내시경적 수술방법(액와 유륜 접근법과 유일-액와 접근법)에 따라 수술 결과를 비교하여 각 수술 방법의 안정성 및 유용성을 확인하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2008년 11월부터 2014년 7월까지 로봇 내시경 갑상선 수술을 시행 받은 256명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 접근방법에 따라 2008년 11월부터 2010년 7월까지 액와-유륜 접근법(Axillo-Breast approach, AB group)이 128례, 2010년 8월부터 2014년 7월까지 유일-액와 접근법(Only-Axillary approach, OA group)이 128예로 구성되었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS v.12 를 이용하여 실험군과 대조군의 동질성 검정은 independent t-test, fisher's exact test, $x^2$-test로 양측검정을 실시하였다. 결과: 종양의 특성, 수술범위, 채취된 평균 림프절 개수(AB group 5.1개, OA group 6.1개), 수술 후 주요 합병증(AB group 0.8%, OA group 0.8%)은 양 군간에 차이는 없었다. 유일-액와 접근법의 경우 유륜의 흉터를 피할 수 있었다. 결론: 액와-유륜 접근법과 유일-액와 접근을 통한 로봇 내시경적 갑상선 절제술 모두 안전하고 유용한 수술법이다. 로봇 내시경 갑상선 수술에서 유륜의 흉터를 피하고자 하는 경우, 5 mm Maryland dissector 2개를 이용한 유일-액와 접근을 통한 로봇 내시경 갑상선 절제술을 고려해 볼 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Background and Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate surgical completeness in endoscopic total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection via unilateral axillo-breast approach (UABA) compared with bilateral axillo-breast (BABA) and open approach (OA) by means of the radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) ratio and thyroglobulin (Tg) of remnant thyroid. Subjects and Method From July 2010 to March 2013, 82 patients who had underwent total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection and postoperative radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation for papillary thyroid carcinoma were enrolled. Of these patients, 27 patients underwent UABA, 24 patients BABA, and 31 patients OA. Clinicopathologic data, surgical outcome, stimulated Tg and RAIU ratio on the first postoperative RAI ablation scan were compared among 3 groups. Results Patients in the endoscopic surgery groups (UABA, BABA) were younger than those in the OA groups. Invasiveness such as operation time, postoperative pain, and drain amount in UABA was less than that in BABA and severer than that in OA. Other variables regarding clinicopathologic and surgical data were not significantly different. Stimulated Tg and RAIU ratio did not show significant differences among 3 groups (p=0.659 and p=0.664). Conclusion The completeness of UABA was comparable with that of BABA and OA. The UABA may be a safe option for patients who need endoscopic thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Robotic thyroidectomy has been developed to minimize neck scarring, and several authors have described its feasibility and safety, and have reported surgical outcomes comparable with conventional open thyroidectomy. The da Vinci surgical system robot provides a three-dimensional $10-12{\times}$magnified view of the surgical area. It also provides hand-tremor filtration, fine motion scaling, and precise and multi-articulated hand-like motions. Recently, robotic technology has also been applied to lateral compartment neck dissection in thyroid cancer. We have developed a new novel selective neck dissection procedure by a gasless unilateral axillo-breast (GUAB) approach with a da Vinci Surgical System for well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma to avoid a long visible neck scar. Based on our early experience, robotic selective neck dissection by GUAB approach is a safe, feasible and cosmetically excellent procedure. It can be an alternative to conventional open surgery in the highly selected patients with well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma. The oncologic safety of robotic selective neck dissection should be verified with long-term follow-up data.

Organ preservation surgery and minimally invasive surgery have been developed during the past 20 years with major focus on transoral laser surgery, endoscopic surgery, and robotic surgery. Two major robotic surgeries in head and neck area are transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and robotic thyroidectomy. Transoral robotic surgery is a safe and efficacious method of surgical treatment of oropharyngeal. hypopharyngeal and laryngeal neoplasm. Advantages of the technique include adequate ability to visualize and manipulate lesions with two hands. TORS can provide magnified three dimensional views and overcome the limitation resulting from the "line of sight" which hinders transoral laser procedure. The swallowing function following transoral robotic surgery show superior and patients were able to retain or rapidly regain swallowing function in the majority of cases. Recently, robotic thyroidectomy has also been developed to overcome the [imitation of endoscopic thyroidectomy. Robotic thyroidectomy by a gasless unilateral axillo-breast or axillary approach using a da Vinci S Surgical Robot is a feasible and cosmetically excellent procedure. It can be a promising alternative to endoscopic thyroidectomy or conventional open thyroidectomy.
