Robotic thyroidectomy using gas-insufflation one-step single-port transaxillary (GOSTA) approach.

Despite proceeding in one-step with a single smaller incision, from skin flap creation to the completion of thyroidectomy, the GOSTA approach is as feasible and safe as the CTA approach. Additionally, the GOSTA approach allows for thyroidectomy without using a retractor and reduces the workload for the surgeon and assistants.
