This color atlas is a guide for open, endoscopic, and robotic thyroidectomy techniques. It included step-by-step descriptions on surgical anatomy, preoperative set-up, draping, instrumentation, as well as complications and their treatment. The description of endoscopic thyroidectomy techniques focuses on the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA), while in the case of robotic thyroidectomy both BABA and the bilateral axillo-postauricular approach are described. In each case, the evidence supporting the technique is carefully examined. In the closing chapter, the role of new energy sources in thyroid surgery is discussed. 200 full-color illustrations clarifying surgical anatomy, instrumentation, and procedures are included and surgical video clips are also available to readers via a website.
