Association of long-term quality of life, safety, and efficacy: robotic vs. open thyroidectomy for benign thyroid nodules

Robotic thyroidectomy demonstrated superior cosmetic outcomes, lower complication rates, and minimal impact on postoperative QoL compared to open surgery for benign thyroid nodules, including larger ones. Therefore, with appropriate patient selection, robotic thyroidectomy may be the preferred approach for benign thyroid disease.
