Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and transoral videolaryngoscopic surgery (TOVS) are minimally invasive procedures for early-stage head and neck cancers. However, due to its unique nature, transoral resection often leads to skeletal and anatomical disorders. We describe a case in which TORS was used in a 71-year-old man with a skeletal disorder, spastic stridor, and a T2N1M0 stage I p16-positive oropharyngeal carcinoma. Prior to the procedure, he underwent right cervical dissection (levels II–IV). Although he had an oblique neck, the right side of his neck was naturally hyperextended because the dissection was performed on the right side. The right facial, lingual, and external carotid arteries were ligated in preparation for TORS. Postoperative pathological examination revealed no extranodal involvement of the metastatic lymph nodes. A two-stage TOVS procedure was performed for the oropharyngeal tumor, in which the surgeon was required to be positioned at the patient’s head to allow direct manipulation. This makes the neck and oral cavity more susceptible to the skeletal effects. In contrast, in TORS, the da Vinci insertion angle can be set to match the angle of the neck, allowing surgeons to operate with less skeletal influence. TORS is more useful in this setting. |
