Transoral robotic surgery for retromolar trigone tumours
نویسندگان
چکیده
The retromolar trigone is a challenging transoral surgical site due to the difficulty of visualization. Our aim is to report a new technique of transoral robotic resection of retromolar trigone tumours. We present three patients with retromolar trigone tumours with pathological diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma who underwent successful transoral robotic resection. Robotic retromolar trigone resection and concurrent supraomohyoid neck dissections were performed in all patients without any complication. In conclusion, transoral robotic surgery is a safe and feasible technique for resection of malignant retromolar trigone tumours with minimal complications and favourable outcomes.

The First Successful Case of Transoral Robotic Surgery in a Patient with Sialadenoma Papilliferum
Introduction: Sialadenoma papilliferum (SP) is a rare benign tumor, which originates from the minor salivary gland. It occurs at sites that have minor salivary glands, such as the palate, retromolar pads, buccal mucosa, and lips. The most common location for tumor development is on the hard palate. A differential diagnosis consists of ruling out other salivary gland tumors. Transoral robotic s...

Two further points of surgical anatomy require emphasis. First, some authors include the retromolar trigone as part of the oropharynx while others do not. The retromolar trigone is included in the oral cavity in the UICC/AJC (Union Internationale Contre Le Cancer/American Joint Committee) definition, and tumours of the trigone should not be considered as oropharyngeal tumours. Second, tumours o...
