BACKGROUND Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) represents a novel treatment for oropharyngeal cancer and obstructive sleep apnea. Appropriate patient selection is crucial. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether anatomic biometric measures are useful to determine the feasibility of performing TORS. METHODS Three surgeons independently evaluated feasibility in 51 soft-fix cadavers. T...

Background: Overweight and obesity can be assessed through anthropometric measurements using the body mass index (BMI). Some studies suggest that neck fat is positively correlated with visceral fat, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome. Neck circumference has been shown to closely BMI used as a practical screening tool for identifying overweight or obese individuals in both men women. However...
