T1 - Morphometric assessment of dissection fields with robotic thyroidectomy approaches These measurable differences may help to define advantages when comparing available surgical techniques.', We have quantified the difference in dissection required when accomplishing two different robotic approaches. Conclusions: There are few objective data governing the recent adoption of technology-intense robotic thyroidectomy procedures. The mean area of dissection required for RFT was 39.2 ± 6.6 cm2 (range 25.2 to 47.9 cm2). Results: A total of 28 robotic thyroidectomy dissection pockets were simulated (14 for each of the 2 surgical approaches) with each specimen serving as its own control. ImageJ software (National Institute of Health) was used to calibrate the photographs and measure the surface area of the region requiring dissection in each approach. Using previously defined landmarks, the area necessary to accomplish robotic thyroidectomy using either the transaxillary or facelift approach was marked in a standardized fashion for these procedures and then photographed. Methods: Seven fresh human cadavers were obtained for surface anatomical study. Design: Morphometric analysis of human cadavers. We sought to define differences in the extent of dissection associated with 2 different robotic thyroidectomy techniques using morphometric measurements of the area of dissection required for each approach. These measurable differences may help to define advantages when comparing available surgical techniques.Ībstract = 'Objectives: Robotic thyroidectomy was introduced in the United States despite scant pre-clinical data.
