About this Research Topic
The goal of this research topic is to bring together and present the latest literature and foster collaboration between thyroid surgeons who are interested in minimally invasive thyroid surgery to share their techniques and outcomes to further improve this field. We want to hear from surgeons and clinicians on how they do it and overcome the challenges of this novel and interesting field.
We welcome various types of articles including original research articles, reviews, and methods articles. We encourage submissions on the following themes:
- Outcomes of minimally invasive thyroid surgery (including both endoscopic and robotic thyroid surgery)
- How-I-do-it technical recommendations for surgeons interested in exploring this technique to improve patient care delivery
- Role of novel new technologies that can assist minimally invasive thyroid surgery - nerve monitoring, parathyroid identification technologies, etc.
- What the future holds for minimally invasive thyroid surgery - how far can we go?
Keywords: Thyroid, endoscopic surgery, robotic surgery, minimally invasive thyroid surgery
