Robot-Assisted Retroauricular Neck Surgery in Head and Neck Cancers
In head and neck cancers, regional spreading occurs via lymphatic pathways. Therefore, neck dissection is frequently performed in these patients; however, this results in a large incision scar in the neck. Retroauricular robotic surgical approach may be used for neck dissection as a remote-access method. This review presents a discussion of publications on retroauricular robotic neck dissection...
متن کاملRobotic Retroauricular Thyroidectomy
Although RRT is generally recommended for thyroid lobectomies, both Byeon et al. and Kim et al. successfully performed total thyroidectomies, with or without neck dissection, using this technique[10,11]. They considered advanced lymph node metastases with extracapsular spread, and advanced thyroid cancer that invaded the surrounding tissues, as contraindications for the use of RRT. They did not...
متن کاملTransoral robotic surgery (TORS): the natural evolution of endoscopic head and neck surgery.
The article presented by Bhayani, Holsinger, and Lai thoroughly evaluates the emergence of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) as a technique in the field of otolaryngology. Transoral approaches to the upper aerodigestive tract, whether for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, represent core tenets of the discipline and formed one of the bases for the inception of the specialty. Innovations and ref...
متن کاملFeasibility of using the retroauricular approach without endoscopic or robotic assistance for excision of benign neck masses.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to present our evaluation of the feasibility of using a retroauricular approach for excision of benign upper neck mass lesions without assistance of an endoscopic or robotic system. METHODS We enrolled 23 patients with benign neck mass lesions of the parotid gland, submandibular gland, and the level II/III region who underwent surgery via a retroauricu...
متن کاملEndoscopic neck surgery
Endoscopic surgery in the neck was attempted in 1996 for performing parathyroidectomy. A similar surgical technique was used for performing thyroidectomy the following year. Most commonly reported endoscopic neck surgery studies in literature have been on thyroid and parathyroid glands. The approaches are divided into two types i.e., the total endoscopic approach using CO(2) insufflation and th...
