This color atlas is a detailed guide on how to perform open, endoscopic, and robotic thy-roidectomy techniques safely and eff ectively. Each chapter off ers step-by-step descriptions of essential surgical procedures and tech-niques. Relevant information is included on surgical anatomy, and clear guidance is provided on preoperative set-up, draping, instrumentation, and complications and their treatment. The description of endo-scopic thyroidectomy techniques focuses on the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA), while in the case of robotic thyroidectomy both BABA and the bilateral axillo-postau-ricular 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. Th e lucid text is sup-ported by more than 200 full-color illustra-tions clarifying surgical anatomy, instru-mentation, and procedures, and surgical video clips are also available to readers via a website. This atlas will be invaluable in enabling surgeons to achieve optimal out-comes when performing thyroid surgery.
