performing a right lobectomy, any suspicious nodules on the left thyroid lobe should undergo ne-needle aspiration biopsy) [10]. Further imaging modalities such as CT, MRI, PET may be selectively used in a minority of patients. Patients should ideally be euthyroid at the time of operation, with either antithyroid medication or Lugol’s solution for hyperthyroidism or exogenous thyroid hormone supplementation for hypothyroidism.
Preoperative vocal cord assessment, most commonly with indirect laryngoscopy but also with laryngeal ultrasound in centers with appropriate expertise, should be performed in any patient with hoarseness or a prior history of neck operation. Pre­anesthetic evaluation should be a routine step prior to any procedure requiring gen­eral anesthesia.

3 Positioning andAnesthesia
Most thyroidectomies are performed under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. The patient is placed supine in a 20° reverse Trendelenburg position, with both arms tucked. The neck is hyperextended by placing a beanbag, inated arterial line bag, or soft roll behind the scapulae and a foam ring under the head. This places the thyroid in a more anterior position. The head must be well supported to prevent postoperative posterior neck pain. The surgical area is prepared with 1% iodine or chlorhexidine and sterilely draped. Intraoperative nerve monitoring is increasingly used as an additional tool to monitor nerve integrity during thyroidec­tomy, particularly in high-risk operations [11]. Set up requires intubation with elec­trode positioning at the level of the vocal folds for both continuous and intermittent monitoring. We routinely perform our own ultrasound prior to surgical prep in order to assess the anatomy and facilitate operative planning.
Identication and preservation of the parathyroid glands during thyroidectomy is crucial. Visual assessment remains the primary method of identication, though some centers use near-infrared (NIR) uorescence spectroscopy as an emerging intraoperative adjunct with high sensitivity and specicity in identifying parathy­roid glands in situ.
4 Postoperative Care (Keep All Images FromLast Version)
In general, thyroid operations should be performed in a bloodless eld so that vital structures can be identied. Bleeding obscures the normal color of the parathyroids and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), placing these important structures at greater risk for injury. If bleeding does occur, pressure should be applied; vessels should be clamped only if they are precisely identied or shown to not be in close proximity to the RLN.

A centrally placed, 4–6cm Kocher transverse incision is made 1cm caudad to the cricoid cartilage, paralleling the normal skin lines of the neck (Fig.1). The inci­sion is extended through the platysma, at which point subplatysmal aps are raised, rst cephalad to the level of the thyroid cartilage and then caudad to the suprasternal notch. Kelly or Kocher clamps can be placed on the dermis of each ap to aid in retraction for this dissection.
In a cancer operation, dissection of the thyroid gland is generally begun on the side of the suspected tumor, since a problem with the dissection on this side could lead the surgeon to perform a less-than-total thyroidectomy on the contralateral side in order to avoid complications. One exception is the large bulky tumor, in which case the surgeon sometimes dissects the contralateral side rst in order to more eas­ily mobilize the thyroid gland.
The strap muscles are separated in the midline via an incision through the super­cial layer of the deep cervical fascia starting at the suprasternal notch and extend­ing cephalad to the thyroid cartilage. On the side of the suspected tumor, the more supercial sternohyoid is separated from the deeper sternothyroid muscle by blunt dissection, proceeding laterally until the ansa cervicalis is visible at the lateral bor­der of the sternothyroid muscle. The sternothyroid muscle is then dissected from the underlying thyroid capsule until the middle thyroid vein is encountered laterally. The thyroid is retracted anteromedially and the carotid sheath and strap muscles are retracted laterally. A peanut sponge can be used to facilitate retraction and expo­sure of the area posterolateral to the thyroid. The middle thyroid vein is optimally exposed for division at this time (Fig.2).
In the case of thyroid lobectomy, the isthmus can be divided early in the dissec­tion to facilitate mobilization. The isthmus is clamped and divided lateral to the midline, taking care to not leave residual tissue anterior to the trachea to minimize the chances of hypertrophy of the thyroid remnant.

scalpel coagulation devices are useful for dividing the thyroid parenchyma in a hemostatic manner; alternatively, the isthmus can be divided with a scalpel between clamps and the thyroid remnant oversewn at the cut edge.
The superior pole is dissected mostly in a blunt fashion with a small peanut sponge on a clamp or using a small tip ligasure. The dissection is carried out supero­laterally and posteriorly, with counter-traction of the thyroid inferomedially. This exposes the superior thyroid vessels as well as some connective tissue lateral to the superior pole. These tissues are carefully mobilized below the level of the cricothy­roid muscle, since the RLN passes through Berry’s ligament and enters the cricothy­roid muscle at the level of the cricoid cartilage. The superior pole vessels are individually skeletonized, double- or triple-clamped, and ligated (Fig.3). They are then divided close to the surface of the thyroid in order to prevent injury to the exter­nal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve as it traverses the anterior surface of the cricothyroid muscle. Division of these vessels allows for easy sweeping of the remaining lmy tissues away from the posterior aspect of the superior pole via blunt dissection. The superior parathyroid gland is often identied behind the superior pole during this dissection, at the level of the cricoid cartilage. It is usually located close to a small posterolateral protuberance of the thyroid lobe known as the tuber­cle of Zuckerkandl, and as a general rule is located posterolateral to the RLN (Fig.4).
The mobilization of the lateral and inferior aspects of the thyroid lobe includes the denitive identication of the inferior parathyroid gland and RLN.With the thyroid lobe retracted anteromedially and the carotid sheath laterally, dissection should proceed cephalad along the lateral edge of the thyroid. Fatty and lymphatic tissues immediately adjacent to the thyroid are swept laterally with a peanut sponge

and small vessels are ligated with clips. The inferior parathyroid and RLN are usu­ally encountered during this lateral mobilization, and care must be taken not to transect any tissues in this area until these vital structures are identied. The loca­tion of the inferior parathyroid gland is less consistent than that of the superior gland, but it is usually located anterior to the RLN and inferior to the inferior thy­roid artery as it crosses the RLN (Fig.5). All normal parathyroid glands should be carefully swept away from the thyroid on as broad a vascular pedicle as possible to

prevent devascularization, since this would necessitate autotransplantation of the gland. The course of the right and left RLN can vary considerably. The left RLN is usually situated more medially, running in the tracheoesophageal groove, while the right RLN takes a more oblique course and may pass either anterior or posterior to the inferior thyroid artery.
The pyramidal lobe, present in 80% of patients, is mobilized prior to resection (Fig.5). The pyramidal lobe extends in a cephalad direction and can reach the level of the hyoid bone. It is mobilized by retracting it caudally and dissecting away adja­cent tissues on either side, proceeding cephalad until it becomes a thin brous band. Once the parathyroids and RLN are identied and preserved, the remainder of the thyroid lobe is easily dissected off the trachea and resected. The same steps apply for the other side in the case of a total thyroidectomy. After meticulous hemostasis, the sternothyroid and sternohyoid muscles are re-approximated with 4-0 absorbable sutures, with a small opening left in the midline at the suprasternal notch to allow any blood to exit. The platysma layer is approximated with similar sutures and the skin is closed with either deep dermal or a subcuticular suture.
5 Postoperative Care
Though relatively uncommon in experienced centers, signicant complications can occur after thyroidectomy, including RLN injury, hypoparathyroidism, hematoma leading to life-threatening airway compromise, injury to the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve, infection, seroma, and keloid formation. Because of the small but serious risk of neck hematoma, postoperative patients are observed for up to 6 h after operation before consideration for discharge. For patients who have

undergone total or completion thyroidectomy, serum calcium and/or parathyroid hormone should be measured postoperatively. Prophylactic oral calcium supple­mentation may be administered for the rst several days. Patients who have under­gone rst-time thyroid lobectomy alone do not require calcium check or supplementation.
The vast majority of patients are discharged on the same day or rst postopera­tive day following thyroid lobectomy or total thyroidectomy; patients undergoing total or completion thyroidectomy are given a prescription for thyroid hormone replacement. Most patients can return to work or full activity within 1week. They are seen in the outpatient clinic within 2weeks after discharge, at which time further management is discussed in light of pathology ndings as well as the results of any relevant follow-up laboratory evaluation.

1 Indications
The indications for remote access thyroidectomy have evolved and expanded along­side the pace with which the various techniques have been invented, improved, and rened. For example, a 2016 ATA consensus statement concluded that remote­access thyroidectomy should only be performed in high-volume centers by sur­geons with expertise in both thyroid and endoscopic or robotic surgery, but should also only be considered in selected patients with unilateral small thyroid nodules who wish to avoid a neck incision [1, 2]. In contrast, current generally accepted indications for the more recent transoral approach are much broader, and include the following:
• Thyroid nodules
– Benign (Bethesda category 2 cytology): 6cm in maximal dimension – Cytologically indeterminate (Bethesda 3 or 4): 4 cm (may increase or
decrease depending on additional molecular proling results)
– Suspicious for malignancy or malignant (Bethesda 5 or 6): 2cm
• Goiters (includes Graves disease, toxic and nontoxic multinodular goiter)
8cm in maximal dimension – Preference for euthyroid patients without signicant evidence of thyroiditis

2 Preoperative Preparation
Patients undergoing remote access thyroidectomy should undergo the same preop­erative workup as in traditional thyroidectomy, including preoperative biochemical thyroid function assessment, neck ultrasound with ne-needle aspiration biopsies as needed and selected use of additional cross-sectional imaging, and voice evaluation and vocal cord assessment as appropriate. Additional preoperative preparation steps may be needed that are specic for the remote access technique; for example, some transoral surgeons prescribe preoperative dental evaluation and cleaning.
3 Positioning andAnesthesia
Remote access thyroidectomies are performed under general anesthesia with endo­tracheal intubation, usually with a specially congured endotracheal tube with an integrated electromyographic electrode for intraoperative neuromonitoring of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Patient position is based on the specic procedure being performed (see below). As in traditional thyroidectomies, the surgical area can be prepared with 1% iodine or chlorhexidine and sterilely draped. An ultrasound prior to surgical prep can be performed in order to assess the anatomy and facilitate oper­ative planning.
4 Description ofProcedure [4]
In general, all thyroid operations regardless of technical approach should be per­formed in a bloodless eld so that vital structures can be identied. Bleeding obscures the normal color of the parathyroids and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN),

placing these important structures at greater risk for injury. If bleeding does occur, pressure should be applied; vessels should be clamped only if they are precisely identied or shown to not be in close proximity to the RLN.
4.1 Transaxillary Approach
The transaxillary approach avoids a cervical scar as incisions are placed in the axilla, where they are naturally hidden by the arm. There are multiple variations of both robotic and endoscopic transaxillary techniques, with and without the use of CO2 insufation [5]. In the gasless robotic technique, patients are placed supine with the neck slightly extended, and the ipsilateral arm raised to expose the axilla and shorten the distance between the axilla and the neck. A 6–9cm incision is made in the anterior axilla along the lateral edge of the pectoralis major muscle, and a subcutaneous tunnel is made under direct visualization over the pectoralis major muscle and clavicle to the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle (Fig.1). The two heads of the SCM are separated, and the strap muscles are retracted to expose the thyroid. Four robotic arms are then placed through the incision, as well as an exter­nal retractor to maintain working space. Dissection of the lobe can proceed either in a superior- to-inferior, or inferior-to-superior direction, depending on the surgeon’s preference for timing and exposure of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Total thyroid­ectomy is also technically possible using the same incision by greater medial retrac­tion of the thyroid; however, dissection of the contralateral lobe in the manner is technically challenging and requires specialized expertise [6].

The advantages of this approach include its easy access to the upper and lower poles of the ipsilateral thyroid lobe, as well as its enablement of central neck dissec­tion. Disadvantages include its need for a relatively longer incision in the axilla and its distance from the target anatomy necessitating greater dissection and changes in patient positioning including signicant arm extension. These disadvantages have manifested in rare but unique complications such as axillary skin ap perforation and brachial plexus injury [79].
4.2 Bilateral Axillo-Breast Approach (BABA)
Though rst described in 2007 as an endoscopic procedure, visualization and dis­section were limited by the 2-dimensional camera and rigid instruments within a small working space. Therefore, in 2009, BABA was adapted for the robotic plat­form. Patients are positioned supine and bilateral incisions are made in the circum­areolar areas. A subcutaneous ap is created through blunt dissection in the breast and chest, subplatysmal space up to the thyroid cartilage superiorly and medial edges of the SCM laterally (Fig.2). With the camera placed in the ipsilateral breast incision, dissection of the thyroid then proceeds, typically in an inferior-to-superior approach.
Among the main advantages of BABA include its exibility in directionality due the multiple ports and angles of dissection afforded by them. In addition, its relative midline approach enables total thyroidectomy with relative ease, and also can enable central and lateral neck dissection in selected cases. Similar to the transaxil­lary approach, however, the distance of the incisions from the target anatomy is rela­tively lengthy, requiring more extensive dissection, longer operative times, and potentially increased tissue trauma. In addition, although central neck dissection is
