Single‐port transoral robotic surgery hypopharyngectomy

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Single‐port transoral robotic surgery hypopharyngectomy Via Head & Neck Abstract Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is an established treatment for many subsites of Head and Neck cancer. With the improved flexibility and access of the single-port (SP) robotic system, tumors within the distal upper aerodigestive tract can now be reached and successfully treated with all the published advantages of transoral endoscopic surgery. Here in we offer the first published surgical technique for SP TORS for resectable hypopharyngeal carcinoma. The video presented demonstrates many important aspects utilizing the enhanced robotic system, including adjustments of the semi-flexible endoscope and use of the third transoral surgical instrumentation. As previously reported, TORS hypopharyngectomy should be considered for resectable tumors to improve upon the deleterious effects of open surgical resection or chemoradiation therapy.
