Objectives: The bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) to robotic thyroidectomy has been extended to modified radical neck dissection (MRND). This study assessed outcomes in patients who underwent robotic MRND through BABA using the da Vinci Xi system. Methods: The medical records of 40 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy, bilateral central neck dissection and MRND from September 2018 to March 2020 were reviewed retrospectively, including 12 who underwent robotic surgery and 28 who underwent open surgery. All operations were performed by a single endocrine surgeon. Results: Operation time was significantly longer in the robotic than in the open group (277.08
