ABSTRACT
The prevalence of thyroid cancer, especially in women, is increasing dramatically. Therefore, patients often undergo thyroidectomy upon diagnosis. However, the cosmetic outcome after surgery is of particular concern for many patients. Thus, minimally invasive procedures for treating thyroid disease have been established in recent decades. Total endoscopic and robotic procedures have been slowly and successively introduced while meeting all oncological criteria. Our analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of scarless surgical procedures suggests that the cosmetic aspects of these surgeries will continue to become more important. This review assesses the recent findings regarding the roles of endoscopic and robotic procedures in thyroid cancer surgery.
