Abstract

About transoral robotic surgery During transoral robotic surgery, your surgeon sits at a remote control console a short distance from you and the operating table and precisely controls the motion of the surgical instruments using two hand-andfinger control devices. The console displays a magnified, 3-D view of the surgical area that enables the surgeon to visualize the procedure in much greater detail than in traditional laparoscopic surgery. Transoral robotic surgery may be used to treat:  Mouth cancer  Throat cancer  Tongue cancer  Tonsil cancer Compared with other operations, transoral robotic surgery typically offers excellent cure rates, shorter hospital stays and fewer complications.
