Transoral robotic vertical partial laryngectomy (hemilaryngectomy) extended to the hypopharynx.

Head & neck
Locally advanced laryngeal cancers treatment often involves total laryngectomy, which some patients are unwilling to undergo, even if this choice reduces their survival probability. Therefore, the objective of laryngeal oncologic surgery is not only ...

Vocal cord leukoplakia classification using deep learning models in white light and narrow band imaging endoscopy images.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: Accurate vocal cord leukoplakia classification is critical for the individualized treatment and early detection of laryngeal cancer. Numerous deep learning techniques have been proposed, but it is unclear how to select one to apply in the...

Prediction of postoperative recurrence of oral cancer by artificial intelligence model: Multilayer perceptron.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: Postoperative recurrence of oral cancer is an important factor affecting the prognosis of patients. Artificial intelligence is used to establish a machine learning model to predict the risk of postoperative recurrence of oral cancer.

Neural network combining with clinical ultrasonography: A new approach for classification of salivary gland tumors.

Head & neck
OBJECTIVE: Little information is available about deep learning methods used in ultrasound images of salivary gland tumors. We aimed to compare the accuracy of the ultrasound-trained model to computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging trained m...

Detection of increased intracranial pressure in trans-oral robotic thyroidectomy using optic nerve sheath diameter measurement.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: During transoral robot-assisted thyroidectomy, there is a risk of increasing intracranial pressure because the site of CO insufflation is narrow and close to the brain.

Preclinical feasibility of robot-assisted sentinel lymph node biopsy using multi-modality magnetic and fluorescence guidance in the head and neck.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a staging procedure dependent on accurate mapping of draining lymphatics via tracers. Robot-assisted SLNB enables access to multiple neck levels with a single incision and intraoperative fluorescence g...

Transoral robotic excision of thyroglossal duct cyst using vestibular and sublingual incisions.

Head & neck
With the extension of remote-access head and neck surgery to improve postoperative cosmetic outcomes, a robotic or endoscopic procedure was developed to excise thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDCs). Here, we present the operative procedure of a novel trans...

Feasibility of robotic thyroidectomy via hairline incision using da Vinci single port system: Initial experience with 40 consecutive cases.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to introduce our robotic technique, which can minimize dissection extent using the da Vinci SP robotic system via hairline incision.

The robotic-assisted extended "Sistrunk" approach for tumors of the upper aerodigestive tract with limited transoral access: First description of oncological and functional outcomes.

Head & neck
We report on the first clinical experience with the robotic-assisted extended "Sistrunk" approach (RESA) for access to constrained spaces of the upper aerodigestive tract. This prospective case cohort study include six patients that underwent RESA if...

Scoping review of approaches used for remote-access parathyroidectomy: A contemporary review of techniques, tools, pros and cons.

Head & neck
After our coauthors described the first remote-access parathyroidectomy (RAP) series in 2000, several other approaches were developed. No systematic review has been performed to classify and evaluate RAP techniques. We performed a literature search u...
