Article Abstract
Background: Transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT) is one of the newest approaches and draws attention because of its cosmetic excellence. Here, we present our preliminary data from the initial 5 consecutive patients to explore the feasibility of three-port TORT without axillary incision.
Methods: From August 2022 to December 2022, we performed TORT using three ports via the da Vinci Xi system with three robotic arms.
Results: All 5 patients had cT1aN0M0 papillary thyroid carcinomas with a mean tumour size of 6 mm. All patients underwent lobectomy with ipsilateral central neck dissection. The mean surgical time was 170 ± 15,8 min; the average length of hospital stay is 4.2 days. The number of retrieved central lymph nodes was 4.2 ± 0.8. All patients were discharged uneventfully without complications and completely satisfied with the cosmetic results.
Conclusions: TORT is feasible and safe when performed on carefully selected patients by experienced surgeons.

Synchronous malignancies involving the oropharynx and thyroid gland are rare. We report the case of a 52-year-old female diagnosed with human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) with a concurrent, clinically occult papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The patient initially presented with HPV-associated OPSCC and concerns for cervical lymphadenopathy, presumed to be linked to regional metastasis from the oropharyngeal primary.

Background: The fields of dysphagia is progressively acknowledging the transformative capacity of artificial intelligence (AI). The implementation of this technology is profoundly impacting research directions, clinical practices, and healthcare systems. However, existing studies remain scattered and predominantly focus on specific techniques or case applications, lacking a systematic synthesis of global research output, influential contributors, collaboration networks, and evolving thematic trends.
