Head and neck cancer is a complex pathology whose incidence has increased in recent years. The primary treatment surgery, which involves extensive mutilating interventions through the cervical region, leaving significant anatomofunctional sequelae. Since 2009, use of robotic surgery using Da Vinci® system been consensus for resecting oropharyngeal supraglottic tumors transoral surgery. Subsequently, its utility also observed patients with Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS). advantages this technique are based on improved early recovery patients. This article presents our experience management postoperative care surgical both oncological sleep apnea pathology.
