Preparing for a robotic thyroidectomy is just as simple as any other surgical procedure. You are advised not to eat anything at least eight hours before the surgery, as it may interfere with the administration of anesthesia. You may be asked to stop taking anticoagulation drugs or blood thinners for at least seven days before the surgery.
