Technology Advancement • Greene 1870 (3 cases) • Kocher early 1900’s – report on 5000 cases with mortality of 0.11 ( Awarded Noble Prize in Medicine) • Gagner 1996 – Endoscopic Parathyroidectomy • Husher thyroid lobectomy using cervical approach
Two major Technologic Innovations in Surgery • Laparoscopy • Robotic
Laparoscopic and Robotic SurgeryTwo General Categories CO2 gas for insufflation or A Gasless Technique
Today we focus on • Robotic gasless technique
ROBOTIC THYROIDECTOMYEarly 2000 • MOST EXPERIENCE - South Korea • AXILLARY APPROACH “+” CHEST PORT • CHUNG et al. 2009: 100 CASES • LOBES AND TOTAL THYROIDECTOMY • LOW BMI’S • NO SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS
VSC Robotic Experience July 2008 – VSC began Robotic Surgery Now Over 450 - DaVinci cases Whipple Procedure Bile Duct Exploration Distal Pancreatectomy Splenectomy Adrenalectomy Sarcoma Resection Colon resection Small Bowel Resection Antireflux procedures Cholecystectomy Thyroidectomy Gastrectomy Hernia Repairs Liver Resection
VSC Robotic Thyroid EXPERIENCE • OCTOBER 2009 – PRESENT • Da VINCI GASLESS SINGLE INCISION AXILLARY APPROACH • NO CHEST PORT
Concerns in Private Practice • First Patient • Legal Implications • Hospitals

ROBOTIC THYROIDECTOMYPUBLICATION “daVINCI GASLESS SINGLE INCISION AXILLARY APPROACH” Rodriguez et al. (On-line publication Jan 2011) • 35 PATIENTS • 3 OPEN CONVERSIONS • NO MAJOR COMPLICATIONS • ONE CHEST HEMATOMA
Current Data • 85 daVinci gasless single-incision axillary approach; thyroid and parathyroid • 80 Thyroids • 5 Parathyroids
Indications for Surgery A. 1. FNA (cytology) – a. Follicular/Hurthle cell ‘OR’ inconclusive and CA (one patient) 2. Size of tumor (Mass) independent of Pathology 3. Multinodular (Goiter/Graves) 4. Histopathology (Path report) B. Primary Hyperparathyroidism
6 Patients were Converted to Open • 1 Patient had Large mass over 8 cm with BMI over 42 – Right lobe - open Left lobe daVinci • 1 Patient mass very large; invading capsule • 3 Patients large goiters Large Neck Circumference (football player) BMI OVER 30 - LARGE GOITER Hx of Polio – (left arm) • 1 Patient complication – Trachea puncture
11 Total Thyroidectomy Initial operation; 10 were done for multinodular disease 1 done by choice of patient
80 Surgeries in 73 patients • FNA - only 4 patients had Diagnosis CA preoperatively - 3 patients were early CA • Two were less than 1 cm, resulted in lobectomy using da Vinci • One Total was Patient choice • One patient started robotic, tumor to large, converted to open, frozen section confirmed pathology
80 Thyroid surgeries; 73 Patients • 73 pts – 4 with preoperative CA = 69 no CA indication preoperatively • 69 patients had FNA (cytology) indicating Follicular/Hurthle or other indications
Of the 10 Postoperative Histopathology Diagnosis (path report) • 5 had completion thyroidectomy through opposite side using axillary approach. • Differentiated thyroid CA (less than 50 years old, tumor less than 1 cm, no capsulary invasion, no evidence of metastatic disease.
Remaining patientsUnderwent Total thyroidectomy using the axillary approach ( FNA was done) dominate mass on the background; Multinodular disease
