The purpose of this exhibit is: 1. To review the difference between conventional and robotic thyroidectomy 2. To suggest and discuss the imaging considerations which the thyroid surgeon wants to know before robotic thyroidectomy 

What's robotic thyroidectomy - The difference from conventional thyroidectomy New imaging considerations before robotic thyroidectomy - What the thyroid surgeon wants to know - General considerations 3D imaging view : thyroid (including common carotid artery, superior and inferior thyroid artery, thyroid veins) 3D volume measurement of thyroid gland and tumor : adding to 2D measurement Presence or absence of local invasion and central/lateral metastatic lymphadenopathy - Special considerations The relationship of larynx and trachea to thyroid gland The possibility of non-recurrent laryngeal nerve : aberrant right subclavian artery (arteria lusoria) The distance between Berry ligament and thyroid tumor Localization of parathyroid gland Course  of thyroid artery Simulation imaging views corresponding to FOV of robotic thyroidectomy Future directions and summary
