Abstract
Like many new techniques in surgery, the use of robotic-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy is an innovative approach to a common surgical treatment. However, the increased risks associated with the operation along with the increased costs make robotic-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy an ethically problematic procedure to be utilized in contemporary health systems.
