Excerpt

I would like to thank Dr. Dionigi et al. for their interest in our paper entitled “Robotic Thyroidectomy by Gasless Unilateral Axillo-Breast or Axillary Approach: Our Early Experiences” [1]. I agree with their commentary. Endoscopic or robotic thyroidectomy by gasless unilateral axillo-breast or axillary approach is not minimally invasive thyroid surgery [2, 3]. It is more invasive than conventional open thyroidectomy. The area dissected to expose the thyroid gland, the amount of drainage, and postoperative pain were more than with open thyroidectomy [1, 3]. …
