Summary
This scoping review evaluates intraoperative and short-term outcomes of transoral robotic surgery (TORS), a minimally invasive technique in otorhinolaryngology. It identifies current evidence and research gaps for TORS perioperative care.
Area of Science:
- Otorhinolaryngology
- Surgical Oncology
- Robotic Surgery
Background:
- Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is a minimally invasive approach for head and neck conditions.
- While long-term TORS outcomes are known, perioperative data is limited.
- This review focuses on intraoperative and short-term postoperative results.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review and evaluate evidence on perioperative outcomes of TORS.
- To identify research gaps in the literature regarding TORS.
- To inform future clinical practice and research in TORS.
Main Methods:
- Systematic scoping review following PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines.
- Search strategy based on "Population, Intervention, Comparator, and Outcome" framework.
- Comprehensive database search (Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Embase) with independent reviewer screening.
Main Results:
- Analysis and description of all identified intraoperative outcomes.
- Evaluation of short-term postoperative outcomes reported in the literature.
- Synthesis of current evidence on TORS perioperative safety and efficacy.
Conclusions:
- Provides a comprehensive overview of existing evidence on TORS perioperative outcomes.
- Highlights areas needing further investigation in TORS research.
- Aims to guide future clinical practice and research for TORS.
