Robotic Neck Dissection.

Otolaryngologic clinics of North America
Management of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma necessitates a multimodal approach. The neck dissection has evolved over many years but is well established as the key surgical intervention for management of nodal disease in the neck. The open nec...

A new endoscopic surgical approach to the larynx, hypopharynx, and neck lymphatics: The robotic-assisted extended "Sistrunk" approach (RESA).

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: We report on the feasibility of a novel robotic-assisted extended "Sistrunk" approach (RESA) to the larynx, hypopharynx, and lateral neck lymphatics.

Modified facelift approach for posterior segmental mandibulectomy: a blend of oncology and cosmesis.

European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery
BACKGROUND: The approach to the mandible for segmental resection in malignant pathologies entails a lip-split, angle-split or visor flap incision with extension of the incision into the neck for performing neck dissection. The modified facelift appro...

Comparison of robot-assisted modified radical neck dissection using a bilateral axillary breast approach with a conventional open procedure after propensity score matching.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: There is ongoing debate about whether or not robot-assisted thyroidectomy is appropriate for modified radical neck dissection (MRND). The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of robot-assisted MRND with those of a co...

Robot-assisted excision of cervical cystic hygroma through a retroauricular hairline approach: a case report.

Journal of medical case reports
BACKGROUND: Cystic hygroma is a rare benign abnormality of the lymphatic system generally occurring in young children less than 2 years old. The standard transcervical surgical treatment of cystic hygroma may often leave a permanent scar in the neck ...

Feasibility of transoral robotic-assisted high-resolution microendoscopic imaging of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: Transoral robotic-assisted oncologic surgery of the head and neck offers promising functional results. Nonetheless, the efficacy of oncologic surgery remains critically dependent on obtaining negative margins. We aimed to integrate a mini...

Retroauricular robotic thyroidectomy with concomitant neck-lift surgery.

Annals of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted thyroid surgery using a retroauricular approach was reported as a novel remote access technique for hemithyroidectomy. We report our experience with this remote access technique using a single incision in the retroauricul...

Prediction model of ipsilateral level II lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Auris, nasus, larynx
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop a predictive model for ipsilateral level II lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) using machine learning techniques. The necessity of level II dissection in lateral neck...

The machine learning-based model for lateral lymph node metastasis of thyroid medullary carcinoma improved the prediction ability of occult metastasis.

Cancer medicine
BACKGROUND: For medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) with no positive findings in the lateral neck before surgery, whether prophylactic lateral neck dissection (LND) is needed remains controversial. A better way to predict occult metastasis in the later...

[Cox model analysis of curative effect and prognostic factors of oral robot-assisted RPLN dissection for head and neck malignancies].

Shanghai kou qiang yi xue = Shanghai journal of stomatology
PURPOSE: To investigate the efficacy and prognostic factors of oral robot-assisted retropharyngeal lymph node (RPLN) dissection in the treatment of head and neck malignancies.
