Purpose: Nowadays, minimally invasive surgical approach in thyroid surgery is getting more and more attention. The purpose of this report is to describe the surgical technique of transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT) in the cadaveric model which is the one of these minimally invasive methods. Methods: Transoral thyroidectomy through vestibular approach was performed on 67 year old lady fresh cadaveric model. The da Vinci Xi surgical system (Intuitive Surgical, Inc.) was used to complete TORT. Total thyroidectomy was successfully completed. Results: Total thyroidectomy was successfully completed and all vital structures (recurrent laryngeal nerves and parathyroid glands) were identified and preserved. Conclusion: TORT is a technique that can be successfully applied on the cadaver. We believe that this tecnique is an alternative approach in scarless thyroid surgery that can be safely applied to selected patients.
