Objective To summarize the advantages and disadvantages of different surgical approaches in thyroidectomy using the da Vinci robotic surgical system. Method The relevant to articles about da Vinci robotic thyroidectomy via different surgical approaches at home and abroad were retrieved and reviewed. Results The robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy had a definite curative effect and was a mature technology. The bilateral axillary-breast approach thyroidectomy had a wide range of applications and was suitable for beginners. The robotic retroauricular approach thyroidectomy had great advantages in the dissection of lateral cervical lymph nodes. The transoral robotic thyroidectomy was a surgical approach that conformed to the minimally invasive concept. Conclusions  Da Vinci robotic thyroidectomy via different surgical approaches has its corresponding application scope and advantages. Clinical surgeons should choose an optimal surgical approach according to the tumor location, size and number of patients and the advantages of the operator, so as to achieve the therapeutic effect of radical cure of tumors and reduction of injury.
