Abstract EN
Introduction.
Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) radical tonsillectomy is an emerging minimally invasive surgical procedure for the treatment of cancer of the tonsil.
The detailed surgical technique and claims for its reproducibility have been previously published.
Case Presentation.
We present a patient with a T2N2bM0 epidermoid carcinoma of the tonsil to illustrate step by step the surgical procedure for TORS radical tonsillectomy.
Neck dissection and TORS were staged.
No surgical reconstruction of the defect was required.
No tracheostomy was necessary.
The patient could eat without any feeding tube and was on full oral diet on the fifth postoperative day.
Discussion.
The transoral approach offers the benefits of minimally invasive surgery to patients with cancer of the tonsil.
The excellent exposure and high precision provided by robotic instrumentation allow the surgeon to closely follow and accomplish the surgical steps, which is the best warranty for safety and effectiveness.
