Robotic assisted Head and Neck Surgeries

Robotic surgery has transformed the treatment of tumors in challenging locations such as the throat, base of the tongue, and tonsils, particularly those linked to HPV-positive head and neck tumors. Traditional methods involving jaw cutting and large neck incisions have been replaced by minimally invasive procedures through the mouth, facilitated by advanced robotic technology. This innovation not only ensures precise tumor removal but also reduces hospital stays and lessens the rehabilitation needed for functions like swallowing and speech. Surgeons are extending the use of this state-of-the-art robot to explore applications in thyroid, parathyroid, and submandibular gland surgeries, showcasing its versatility in improving surgical outcomes across various head and neck procedures.
