Transoral Robotic Surgery for Oropharyngeal Cancer
Oropharyngeal cancer is the main cause of morbidity and mortality of head and neck diseases. For a long time, this traditional treatment is mainly organ protection with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The undesired effects of medical and surgical treatments have forced people to develop new technologies to manage these diseases. Therefore, since 2006, robotic transoral surgery (TORS) technology has been developing all over the world. So far, the incidence and tumor results of this operation are encouraging, so it is becoming a treatment option that we must deal with. The first two national level cases of oropharyngeal cancer treated with traditional techniques and long-term recurrence in this institution are reported. Resection of the tumor through the trunk and the results of these processes are described.
