The conventional robotic endoscopic remote access techniques detailed in this article have been discussed in a series of increasing volumes in the literature, including for the treatment of thyroid cancer. Lower-volume centers now perform most robotic thyroidectomies in the United States and are responsible for recent increases in utilization patterns despite higher complication rates. These trends highlight the importance of increasing surgeon exposure to and experience with these techniques in order to improve procedure safety. Additional large-volume, multicenter studies to define patients who will most benefit from these conventional robotic endoscopic procedures for thyroid cancer are needed.
