Comparable Performance Between Automatic and Manual Laryngeal and Hypopharyngeal Gross Tumor Volume Delineations Validated With Pathology.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Deep learning is a promising approach to increase reproducibility and time-efficiency of gross tumor volume (GTV) delineation in head and neck cancer, but model evaluation primarily relies on manual GTV delineations as reference annotation, ...

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 ...

Artificial intelligence and ChatGPT: An otolaryngology patient's ally or foe?

American journal of otolaryngology
BACKGROUND: As artificial intelligence (AI) is integrating into the healthcare sphere, there is a need to evaluate its effectiveness in the various subspecialties of medicine, including otolaryngology. Our study intends to provide a cursory review of...

Transoral Laser-Assisted Infrahyoid Supraglottic Laryngectomy for Selected Patients With Supraglottic Cancer.

Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
Supraglottic laryngectomy has evolved from open to transoral endoscopic approaches with advancements in surgical techniques and instruments such as lasers, endoscopes, ultrasonic devices, and robotics. Transoral laser-assisted microsurgery has emerge...

Demonstration of transoral robotic supraglottic laryngectomy and total laryngectomy in cadaveric specimens using the Medrobotics Flex System.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: Current management of laryngeal malignancies is associated with significant morbidity. Application of minimally invasive transoral techniques may reduce the morbidity associated with traditional procedures. The purpose of this study was t...

Applications of Evolving Robotic Technology for Head and Neck Surgery.

The Annals of otology, rhinology, and laryngology
OBJECTIVE: Assess the use and potential benefits of a new robotic system for transoral radical tonsillectomy, transoral supraglottic laryngectomy, and retroauricular thyroidectomy in a cadaver dissection.

Transoral robotic resection of an adult laryngeal haemangioma and review of the literature.

The Journal of laryngology and otology
BACKGROUND: Haemangioma of the adult larynx is an uncommon, benign lesion. The optimal surgical method of treating these lesions is controversial because only very limited case series are available. This paper reports the results of transoral robotic...
