Robotic neck dissection offers aesthetic benefits but requires longer surgical times compared to open procedures. The retroauricular robotic technique shows faster post-operative recovery.

Area of Science:

Surgical Oncology
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Robotic Surgery

Background:

Robotic neck dissection enhances aesthetics while maintaining radical cancer procedure principles.
This study details personal experience with robotic neck dissection techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe personal experience with robotic neck dissection surgery.
To compare robotic-assisted transaxillary neck dissection (RATAND) and robotic-assisted retroauricular neck dissection (RARAND) with open neck dissection (OND).

Main Methods:

A retrospective analysis of 10 patients undergoing robotic neck dissection between August 2012 and December 2018.
Comparison of 5 RATAND and 5 RARAND cases against 5 OND cases.

Main Results:

Keywords:

Average surgical times: RATAND (166 min), RARAND (153 min), OND (48 min).
Both robotic techniques are oncologically and aesthetically sound.
Robotic techniques significantly increase surgical time compared to open dissection.

Conclusions:

Robotic neck dissection is oncologically and aesthetically effective.
The retroauricular robotic technique demonstrates a more rapid post-operative recovery.
