From the reviews:"This atlas details the multiple approaches available to perform thyroidectomy, with complete illustrations and schematic descriptions for performing safe open, endoscopic, and robotic thyroidectomy. ... Dr. Youn has shared his years of experience in this book and provides thyroid surgeons with the tools necessary to perform endoscopic and robotic surgery safely. This is the first atlas in the field of endocrine surgery describing these approaches to thyroidectomy in such detail." (Scott Q. Nguyen, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2014)
