| Abstract |
The safety of robotic thyroidectomy (RT) for small-sized thyroid carcinomas has been well established. The surgical outcomes of bilateral axillo-breast approach RT for thyroid carcinomas larger than 2 cm were evaluated and compared with those of open thyroidectomy (OT). The medical records of patients who underwent total thyroidectomy or hemithyroidectomy followed by completion thyroidectomy for differentiated thyroid carcinomas measuring 2-4 cm were retrospectively reviewed. The study included 86 patients who underwent RT (n = 21) or OT (n = 65) with mean ages of 30.8 and 51.6 years, respectively. The mean tumor size was 2.8 cm in both groups. There were no significant differences between the RT and OT groups in vocal cord palsy rate (transient, 19.0 vs. 9.2 %; permanent, 0 vs. 1.5 %), postoperative hypoparathyroidism rate (transient, 19.0 vs. 33.8 %; permanent, 4.8 vs. 1.5 %), and the number of retrieved central lymph nodes in papillary thyroid carcinoma patients (6.4 ± 3.5 vs. 6.1 ± 3.9, respectively). The proportion of the patients with serum stimulated thyroglobulin level of <1.0 ng/ml at the initial radioactive iodine treatment was 64.7 % (11/17) for RT group and 66.0 % (35/53) for OT group (p = 0.920). There were three patients (1 RT and 2 OT) who had a biochemical incomplete response, and there was no case of anatomical recurrence or mortality during the median follow-up period of 40.2 months. RT is a safe and oncologically sound treatment option for differentiated thyroid carcinomas measuring 2-4 cm in a selected group of patients. The role of RT should be evaluated in correlation with technological advances and increased experience. |

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 26 August 2017.
All research outputs
#15,380,162
of 22,880,691 outputs
Outputs from Surgical Endoscopy
#3,800
of 6,056 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#227,878
of 355,956 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Surgical Endoscopy
#114
of 187 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,880,691 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,056 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% 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 355,956 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 187 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
