| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of robotic thyroidectomy (RT) using bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) with conventional open thyroidectomy (OT) in papillary thyroid carcinoma patients. Between January 2009 and December 2013, 815 patients who had received thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma were enrolled. Of these, 126 patients received RT and 689 patients underwent OT. Age, gender, body mass index, extent of surgery, tumor size, multiplicity, bilaterality, extrathyroidal extension, and tumor stage were used for the propensity score matching analysis. One hundred and nine patients were selected in each group, and surgical outcomes were compared between the two groups. The RT group showed a significantly longer operating time (290.6 ± 74.4 vs. 107.9 ± 30.8 min, P < 0.001). However, the mean hospital stay after surgery (3.6 ± 0.8 vs. 3.4 ± 1.2 days, P = 0.293), postoperative complication rates (major and minor, P = 0.754 and P = 0.852), and pain score (postoperative day, P = 0.669; postoperative day 1, P = 0.952) were comparable between the two groups. There was no difference in the number of metastatic lymph nodes, but the mean number of retrieved lymph nodes in the RT group was lesser than that in the OT group (3.5 ± 3.5 vs. 5.3 ± 5.2, P = 0.002). Robotic thyroidectomy via the BABA may be a safe and acceptable surgical technique. But, further development that resolves the limitation of central node dissection is needed. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 March 2017.
All research outputs
#20,412,387
of 22,962,258 outputs
Outputs from World Journal of Surgical Oncology
#1,589
of 2,052 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#308,739
of 355,198 outputs
Outputs of similar age from World Journal of Surgical Oncology
#11
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,962,258 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,052 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 355,198 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
