Area of Science:

Surgical Innovation
Robotic Surgery
Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

Submandibular gland (SMG) excision traditionally uses retroauricular or transoral approaches.
Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly sought for head and neck procedures.
Robotic surgery offers enhanced visualization and instrument dexterity.

Observation:

A novel transaxillary approach for SMG excision was developed.
A single-port (SP) robotic system was utilized for the procedure.
A 26-year-old female patient with a submandibular lesion underwent the surgery.

Findings:

The single-port transaxillary robotic SMG excision was successfully performed.
The procedure was completed without any complications.
The SP robotic system provided excellent visualization and instrument control.

Implications:

Transaxillary SMG excision with SP robotic system is a technically feasible and safe option.
This approach may offer unique advantages over traditional methods.
Further research is warranted to validate this technique in a larger cohort.
