Ha ha, no shit. My wife had her thyroid removed last year. You don't even notice the scar unless you look really close, and she was back to work 1 week after surgery. The part that takes the longest is getting the thyroid pills dialed into the proper dosage; the surgery is fast with a quick recovery. Robots are not needed for this. There was a recent article saying the biggest factor for successful surgery is the quantity the surgeon has performed. In this case he had done thousands, and did plastic surgery too (hence a minimal scar).
