Robot-Assisted Retroauricular Neck Surgery in Head and Neck Cancers
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Therapeutic robot-assisted neck dissection via a retroauricular or modified facelift approach in head and neck cancer: a comparative study with conventional transcervical neck dissection.
BACKGROUND In a previous study of robot-assisted neck dissection (RAND), we limited the indication for neck dissection in clinical N0 head and neck cancer. The purpose of this study was for us to present the comparison of the results of therapeutic RAND via a retroauricular or modified facelift approach with outcomes from conventional neck dissection in clinical node-positive head and neck canc...
