Given the significant potential benefit with limited risk of complications, TCAL should be performed concurrently with TORS to decrease the risk of severe post-operative bleeding. Future studies should examine the optimal TCAL approach (selective ECA branches vs. total ligation of the ECA).
Upper airway stimulation (UAS) is successful in treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) showing improved outcomes, length of stay, and readmission compared to transoral robotic surgery (TORS).
TORS BOT reduction decreases AHI and symptoms of sleepiness in adult patients with OSA
Airway, tongue, soft palate, and lateral wall volumes change significantly after OSA-TORS
How effective is an algorithm for rapid discharge after transoral robotic surgery (TORS), and what is its effect on postoperative complications?
What are the safety, toxicity and oncologic outcomes of patients undergoing transoral robotic surgery (TORS), neck dissection and adjuvant therapy for advanced oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (AOC)? Background: Most patients with […]
What is the incidence of pharyngocutaneous fistula associated with transoral robotic oropharyngectomy with concurrent neck dissection, and how can pharyngocutaneous fistula be prevented and treated? Background: Transoral resection is emerging as […]
