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