Summary

Robotic neck dissection offers scar-free surgery with good oncological and functional outcomes for head and neck cancer patients. While effective, further studies are needed to confirm its cost-effectiveness and time efficiency compared to traditional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Head and Neck Cancer Treatment

Background:

  • Conventional neck dissection for head and neck cancers results in significant scarring.
  • Robotic-assisted neck dissection (RAND) has emerged as a technique to achieve scar-free outcomes.
  • RAND aims to provide comparable oncological and functional results to traditional methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of robotic-assisted neck dissection using the modified bilateral axillo-breast insufflation technique.
  • To assess oncological, functional, and cosmetic results in patients undergoing RAND.
  • To compare RAND with conventional neck dissection in terms of patient satisfaction and clinical results.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective observational study was conducted from March 2020 to March 2022.
  • Eighty-two patients underwent robotic-assisted neck dissections via the modified bilateral axillo-breast insufflation technique.
  • Data collected included docking and console times, lymph node yield, post-operative stay, follow-up duration, and cosmetic satisfaction scores.

Main Results:

  • Eighty-two patients, mostly treatment-naïve (79), underwent RAND.
  • The average console time was 160 minutes, with a mean lymph node yield of 28.2.
  • Patients reported excellent cosmetic satisfaction (mean score 4.45), with oncological and functional outcomes comparable to conventional dissection, despite limitations of cost and operative time.

Conclusions:

  • Robotic-assisted neck dissection achieves favorable oncological, functional, and cosmetic outcomes.
  • RAND presents a scar-free alternative for head and neck cancer management.
  • Further randomized controlled trials are recommended to validate the cost-benefit and time efficiency of RAND.
