Abstract
There are numerous potential applications of robotic technology to head and neck procedures, including thyroidectomy. The learning curve for robotic thyroid surgery appears to be steep, as highlighted in a study published in this issue. This commentary explores the challenges with learning robotic thyroid surgery and questions the potential risks and benefits of increased adoption of this approach.
