Resumen
Thyroid cancer is rare in the pediatric population, but in comparison to thyroid carcinomas in adults, those occurring in children present with aggressive and advanced features. Recent innovations in the surgical technique of robotic thyroidectomy for young patients have offered the opportunity to improve cosmetic effects and oncologic outcomes. The aim of our retrospective study was to conduct a review of the pediatric population who underwent robotic trans-axillary thyroidectomy or conventional open thyroidectomy between February 2008 and December 2019. In the hands of an experienced surgeon, robotic thyroidectomy is a feasible and safe option for pediatric patients.
