Kuwait has marked a significant medical achievement with the successful performance of robotic transoral thyroidectomy surgeries at Jaber Al-Ahmad Hospital. The innovative procedure, led by Dr. Salman Al-Safaran and his national medical team, eliminates the need for traditional neck incisions by accessing the thyroid through the mouth.

This advanced technique represents a major shift from conventional thyroid surgery methods, offering patients superior cosmetic outcomes with no visible scarring, reduced postoperative pain, and faster recovery times. The Ministry of Health emphasized that this breakthrough demonstrates Kuwait's growing capabilities in robotic surgery and positions the country at the forefront of international surgical innovation. The success paves the way for expanding advanced robotic procedures in head and neck specialties, supporting Kuwait's vision of building an innovative and leading healthcare system aligned with global trends toward minimally invasive treatments.
