This informative video is targeted for those interested in da Vinci robotic thyroid surgery. It was designed to be the most informative video available anywhere for the general public regarding this exciting new approach to thyroid surgery, which allows for thyroid removal while avoiding a neck incision. The video was narrated and edited by surgeon Tod Huntley, MD, who is part of the Center for Ear Nose Throat & Allergy, based in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. It includes a description of the surgery and its indications, with animated and live action surgical video from an actual case which documents the surgery from start to finish.

Dr. Huntley and one of his partners, Dr. Ed Krowiak, are among the US's most experienced da Vinci robotic head and neck surgeons, and were among the very first private practice surgeons in the US trained in both robotic thyroid surgery and transoral robotic surgical (TORS) removal of cancers of the mouth and throat. They are in demand as instructors and proctors to other surgeons in the US who are learning robotic head and neck surgery.

The Center for Ear Nose Throat & Allergy (CENTA) is a group of six academic private practice otolaryngologists, a PhD speech pathologist, two nurse practitioners, and a cytologist. In addition to practicing general adult and pediatric ENT and allergy, they specialize in tertiary referral head and neck cancer, sleep apnea, and robotic surgery.

Please visit the group's website: www.centadocs.com for more information or call them at 1-800-283-1056 to schedule an appointment.
