Background
Transoral minimally invasive techniques for laryngeal cancer have been proposed to preserve healthy tissues. The aim of this study was to describe a minimally invasive procedure for all laryngectomies with/without neck dissection using a lateral cervical approach.
Methods
A monolateral or bilateral neck incision at the level of the anterior border of the sterno‐cleido‐mastoid muscle...
Background
In this paper, we present three cases where a novel transoral robotic surgery (TORS) approach was used to resect clival chordomas extending into the nasopharynx to demonstrate progress in the evolution of robotic surgery of the head and neck.
Methods
The first patient had a history of metastatic chordoma resection and presented with trismus and dysphagia; the second and third patients...
Background
A step‐by‐step demonstration of the transoral robotic surgical approach (TORS) used in retropharyngeal node dissection (RND) in a recurrent head and neck carcinoma.
Methods
Clinical human study of TORS RND via en bloc resection using a daVinci Si system (Intuitive Surgical, Inc., Sunnyvale, California).
Results
A daVinci Si system provided sufficient access, reach, and visualization...
