Harmonic ACE ® (Harmonic) Curved Shears are frequently used for vessel sealing in patients undergoing robotic thyroidectomy. Unlike other robotic devices with articulation, the Harmonic device can only move in a straight-forward direction without articulation. The recently introduced Vessel Sealer Extend ® (VSE) provides bipolar sealing and cutting with articulation movement. This study compared the VSE and Harmonic devices in robotic bilateral axillary-breast approach (BABA) thyroid surgery.
