Transoral robotic surgery: does the ends justify the means
Current Opinion in Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery, 04/29/09
Weinstein GS et al. - Although the present literature reports early findings, without long-term oncologic outcomes, the results are consistently encouraging. Training programs have already yielded successes. Indeed, multiple institutions have shown that transoral robotic surgery programs can be successfully established yielding excellent clinical outcomes. In addition, early studies of swallowing function following transoral robotic surgery show swallowing outcomes that are superior to some of the reported chemoradiation results for equivalent lesions.
