Anatomy, technique, and results of robotic retroauricular approach to neck dissection

In the attempt to improve cosmetic and functional outcomes in head neck surgeries, robotic or video-assisted dissection using remote access has gained ground recent years. Retroauricular approach emerged as most versatile option, allowing proper at all levels. this technique, after retroauricular incision, a skin flap is elevated self-retaining retractor placed, creating working space for robotic, endoscopic dissection. Numerous published series have shown safety favorable of dissections, without any major complications surgery-related deaths. The only consistently reported disadvantage longer operative time. Our group an experience 190 dissections performed over last 5 years, setbacks. oncologic been comparable conventional with clearly superior aesthetic results. process expansion Robotic Surgery Brazil, our center currently providing training proctoring capacitate other surgeons, enable centers offer surgical modality.
