Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) offers safe and effective treatment for oropharyngeal, hypopharyngeal, supraglottic, and glottic cancers. This minimally invasive approach improves quality of life and provides better access compared to traditional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has emerged as a significant advancement in head and neck cancer treatment.
  • It offers improved access and reduced morbidity for various oropharyngeal, hypopharyngeal, supraglottic, and glottic pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the recent literature on the application of robotic surgery in head and neck oncology.
  • To discuss the current advantages and limitations of TORS in managing sinonasal and skull base pathology.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of recent scientific literature.
  • Analysis of oncological and functional outcomes reported for TORS.
  • Evaluation of TORS in comparison to traditional surgical approaches.

Main Results:

  • TORS demonstrates safety and acceptable oncological and functional outcomes for oropharynx, hypopharynx, supraglottis, and glottis.
  • Robotic surgery has reduced patient morbidity and enhanced quality of life.
  • TORS provides access to previously difficult-to-reach anatomical areas, potentially avoiding more radical surgeries.

Conclusions:

  • Transoral robotic surgery represents a paradigm shift in the management of tumors in the specified head and neck regions.
  • The review highlights the expanding role and benefits of robotic surgery in sinonasal and skull base procedures.
