Introduction
Total laryngectomy is a standard procedure in head‐and‐neck surgery for the treatment of cancer patients. Recent clinical experiences have indicated a clinical benefit for patients undergoing transoral robot‐assisted total laryngectomy (TORS‐TL) with commercially available systems. Here, a new hybrid procedure for total laryngectomy is presented.
Methods
TORS‐TL was performed in human...
Objective
This article reviews current clinical applications and experimental developments for robotic surgery in the head and neck with special focus on financial challenges, current clinical trials, and the controversial aspect of haptic and tactile feedback.
Data sources
Literature was screened using the pubmed library. Information on clinical trials was excerpted from the National Institute...
Sustained interest and an increase of possible indications endorse the role of robot-assisted surgery of the head and neck region. However, broad clinical application is impeded by substantial extra cost, time exposure and a supposed deficit of haptic and tactile feedback. The role of haptic feedback has barely been examined in this context, and literature provides only limited objective validation...
