Robotic surgery in E.N.T., head and neck surgery and its application
Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) and transaxillary thyroidectomy represent the most effective robotic surgery for diseases of the head
and neck available today. Robotic surgery allows the surgeon to provide patient with procedures equivalent to traditional transoral or
external approaches in the region of laryngopharynx and thyroid gland due with the advantages of 3D high-definition visualization.
Comparing to the external approaches robotic surgery offers the advantages of endoscopic surgery as minimal morbidity, improved
functional and cosmetic outcomes. Robotic surgery thus represents minimally invasive otolaryngological procedures.
