Assessment of Margins in Transoral Laser and Robotic Surgery
The growing practice of endoscopic surgery has changed the therapeutic management of selected head and neck cancers. Although a negative surgical margin in resection of neoplasm is the most important surgical principle in oncologic surgery, controversies exist regarding assessment and interpretation of the status of margin resection. The aim of this review was to summarize the literature consid...
متن کاملTransoral robotic surgery vs transoral laser microsurgery for resection of supraglottic cancer: a pilot surgery.
BACKGROUND Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) is a mature approach to supraglottic cancer, while transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is emerging. The present study compared these approaches. METHODS The first 10 patients (2002-2005) given TLM were compared with the first 10 (2007-2011) given TORS for cT1-3 cN0-cN2c supraglottic cancer. RESULTS A feeding tube was used in four TLM and seven TORS...
متن کاملAssessment of intraoperative safety in transoral robotic surgery.
INTRODUCTION Robotic technology has been safely integrated into thoracic and abdominopelvic surgery, and the early experience has been very promising with very rare complications related to robotic device failure. Recently, several reports have documented the technical feasibility of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) with the daVinci Surgical System. Proposed pharyngeal and laryngeal application...
متن کاملSuccessful application of transoral robotic surgery in failures of traditional transoral laser microsurgery: critical considerations.
AIMS To assess the role of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in managing failures of conventional transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) in cases with difficult laryngeal exposure. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 3 patients with difficult laryngeal exposure treated with TORS. All 3 cases failed to be managed by conventional TLM after repeated attempts by experienced surgeons. In 2 cases, the ini...
متن کاملTransoral robotic thyroid surgery.
There is currently significant demand for minimally invasive thyroid surgery; however the majority of proposed surgical approaches necessitate a compromise between minimal tissue dissection with a visible cervical scar or extensive tissue dissection with a remote, hidden scar. The development of transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery however provides an approach which is truly minimally invasive,...
