da Vinci® Thyroid Surgery

A Less Invasive Surgical Procedure

If your doctor recommends surgery to treat thyroid cancer, you may be a candidate for a safe, effective and minimally invasive procedure – da Vinci surgery. Using the most advanced technology available, the da Vinci System enables your doctor to perform this delicate operation with breakthrough precision using only a few small incisions.

da Vinci provides your surgeon with superior vision, precision, dexterity and improved access. As a result, the visible scarring associated with traditional open thyroid surgery is avoided.

da Vinci Thyroidectomy Incision

Open Surgery Incision

For most patients, da Vinci surgery can offer thyroid cancer patients numerous potential benefits over traditional open surgery, including:

• Superior cosmetic outcomes^1,2
• No neck scars^1,2
• Avoids laryngeal nerve injury¹

As with any surgery, these benefits cannot be guaranteed, as surgery is patient- and procedure-specific. Always ask your doctor about all treatment options, as well as their risks and benefits.
