Abstract |
Introduction |
Robotic thyroidectomy (RT) has been reported to achieve satisfactory results. However, its long-term oncological results have not been validated. The use of RT to treat thyroid cancer comprises specific risks that are not encountered with open thyroidectomy (OT).
Case summary |
We report the case of a patient operated by two-stage RT for stage pT3a follicular carcinoma, followed by tumour seeding along the incision despite adjuvant Iodine-131 therapy and external beam radiotherapy.
Discussion |
This case illustrates the limitations and insufficient perspective of RT for thyroid cancer, with the recent discovery of a risk of tumour seeding along the incision. Rigorous patient selection should help to avoid this risk of tumour seeding.
