Comparison of endoscopic thyroidectomy, robotic thyroidectomy and conventional open surgery, the safety of the operation, the timing of the operation and the complications.

With the further development of endoscopic technique, thyroid surgery of the robot has emerged, which may become a trend of endoscopic technology due to its convenience and accuracy.In this study, the advantages and disadvantages of endoscopic thyroidectomy and robotic thyroid surgery were compared, and the experience in the transition stage of thyroid surgery in robotic and endoscopic thyroidectomy was summarized.
