Robotic surgery versus open surgery for thyroid neoplasms: a systematic review and meta-analysis
2020
Overview
PurposeRobotic surgical system has been gradually applied in thyroid neoplasms as a novel treatment for years, with presenting some superiorities as well as limitations. To compare the effectiveness and safety of robotic surgery with open surgery for the patients with thyroid neoplasms, this review was conductedMethodsWe performed electronic search in CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CNKI, CBM, Opengray, and Sciencepaper Online databases and manual search in specific online databases and according to the reference list of relevant papers to get all the studies that compared the effectiveness and safety of robotic surgery with that of open surgery for patients with thyroid neoplasms. Last update was conducted in March 2020. Randomized-controlled trials, case–control studies, cohort studies, and cross-sectional surveys were all included.ResultsIn this review, 59 studies were included: two RCTs, 15 NRSs, 40 cohort studies, and two cross-sectional studies. Robotic surgery was found to be associated with longer operative duration, less retrieved lymph nodes, higher postoperative thyroglobulin before radioactive iodine ablation, similar complication incidence but less blood loss, better functional recovery, and higher cosmetic satisfaction compared to open surgery.ConclusionsRobotic surgery is a safe and feasible approach with remarkable superiority in reducing intraoperative damage and improving patients’ quality of life compared to open surgery for thyroid neoplasms. Meanwhile, this procedure is also associated with long operative duration, insufficient removal of neck lymph nodes, which need to be given careful consideration.
