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...

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 ...

When considering tumours of the parapharyngeal space,surgeons are presented with a difficult decision regarding surgical approach balancing cosmetically acceptable outcome clear resection margins. With careful patient selection and preoperative evaluation, it is possible to obtain both desired outcomes through an endoscopic assisted transoral (EATA). This does not require any new expensive equi...

Solitary neurofibromas arising from cranial nerves are rare, and those arising from the peripheral divisions of the trigeminal nerve are even rarer. Although infratemporal fossa (ITF) masses are challenging to remove, certain approaches are considered feasible for this region. The present study reports a rare case of an ITF neurofibroma arising from the inferior alveolar nerve. The 27-year-old ...
