Robotic surgery in oral and maxillofacial, craniofacial and head and neck surgery: A systematic review of the literature

Transoral robotic-assisted surgical excision of a retropharyngeal parathyroid adenoma: A case report

“…Transoral robotic surgery has been gaining popularity in the field of oropharyngeal carcinoma resection because of its ability to improve visualization and surgical precision. It has also been utilized for resection of laryngeal tumors, parapharyngeal space lesions, and vallecular lesions . This is the first reported case of a transoral robotic‐assisted approach for parathyroidectomy.…”

Facelift Approach for Neck Dissection in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lateral Border of the Tongue

“…1,2,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] The use of the facelift approach or rhytidectomy for the performance of neck dissection has not yet been described in the literature. Our preliminary experience with this novel application of the facelift approach for neck lymph node dissection is presented.…”

“…The use of a facelift-type approach for the treatment of benign cervical lesions has been recently decribed, 1-3 as well as other aesthetic approaches such as the intraoral approach and endoscopic and robotic surgery. [4][5][6][7][8] This article discusses the novelty of a facelift approach, for the performance of a supraomohyoid neck dissection in a young patient with lateral tongue squamous cell carcinoma, not previously described in English literature.…”

Applications for transoral robotic surgery in the pediatric airway

“…Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is an emerging surgical technique with increased utilization. Although primarily a tool of head and neck surgical oncologists, in recent years its application has been expanded to include the treatment of sleep apnea, benign thyroid disease, and various other conditions in the head and neck . It is becoming increasingly apparent that TORS has a sustainable role to play in the field of otolaryngology–head and neck surgery with potential uses in a wide array of clinical scenarios.…”
