Oncologic adequacy and outcomes of open, transoral endoscopic, and robotic thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma: a propensity score-matched analysis

Both transoral approaches were safe and feasible. TORT achieved oncologic adequacy comparable to that of OT while providing scarless benefits despite prolonged operative time. TOETVA was feasible but was associated with a low LN yield. The choice of the surgical approach should be individualized according to oncological adequacy, recovery, and cosmetic preferences.
