OBJECTIVES: The parapharyngeal space (PPS) is an anatomically complex space in the vicinity of vital structures. With the introduction of the daVinci robot in head and neck surgery, the surgical robotic system is now being used to gain direct access ...
Management of base of tongue (BOT) is a challenging topic in surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. After the introduction of transoral robotic surgery technology (TORS) into the otolaryngology practice, surgery on the BOT was perfo...
Surgery to the base of tongue (BOT) in the presence of neoplasm is a challenging topic for head and neck surgeons. This area is difficult to access and includes important neurovascular structures such as the hypoglossal nerve and lingual artery. The ...
BACKGROUND: Transoral, minimally invasive, organ preservation surgeries are increasingly used to treat laryngopharyngeal carcinomas to avoid the toxicity associated with combined chemoradiotherapy regimens. This study investigated the efficiency, saf...
OBJECTIVE: To review and summarize functional and oncologic outcomes after transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for non-oropharyngeal head and neck malignancies.
Over the past decade, the development of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) brought a new opportunity in the treatment of early T-stage oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). The objective of this study is to review the functional outcomes afte...
Head and Neck cancer can be treated by non-surgical or surgical modalities. Current surgical techniques include open surgery and transoral resections. The latter have the distinct advantage of quicker recovery and reduced hospital stay. The further d...
