Abstract

The current study aimed to evaluate the application value of the domestic otolaryngology-specific flexible-arm robotic system in the resection of throat tumors. A 53-year-old male patient diagnosed with a left-sided throat tumor underwent tumor resection with robotic assistance at ENT Institute and Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Eye & ENT Hospital, Fudan University in October 2024. Intraoperative parameters including positioning time, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, vital signs, and length of hospital stay were observed. The postoperative pathological report was analyzed through outpatient follow-up, and the results were evaluated in conjunction with laryngoscopic examinations. The surgery was successfully completed in 30 minutes, with the blood loss of less than 1 ml. The patient recovered well and was discharged as scheduled. Pathological findings revealed moderate to severe atypical hyperplasia of the laryngeal mucosa. The study indicates that robotic system has substantial application value and holds significant potential for clinical promotion.
