Overview

Cancer surgery of the mouth and throat can involve major incision wounds, tracheotomy, or necessitate the breaking of bones. Recognizing the benefits and success of robotic surgery in other areas of medicine, the authors present its use in head and neck surgery, resulting in less surgery, less deformity, and faster rehabilitation.

In this new book, the authors describe the preoperative aspects of Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS), including patient evaluation, instrumentation and set-up, moving on to diagnostic endoscopic and surgical techniques for tonsillectomy, laryngectomy, tongue base and glottic resection, and speech and swallowing considerations. They conclude with an examination of the potential for TORS in skull-base surgery, its future application and, importantly, telesurgery via the Internet.

A pioneering book for a pioneering surgical technique in head and neck surgical technique and management, this should be on the shelf of every otolaryngology-head and neck surgeon.

About The Authors

Gregory S. Weinstein

Dr. Weinstein is Professor and Vice-Chairman of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System.

Bert W. O'Malley, Jr.

Bert W. OMalley, Jr., MD is the Gabriel Tucker Professor and Chairman of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery. He is the Director of the Head and Neck Cancer Research Program, Co-Director of the Center for Head and Neck Cancer and Co-Director of the Center for Cranial Base Surgery, with joint appointments in the Departments of Neurosurgery and Radiation Oncology.

Dr. OMalley co-founded the first human robotics head and neck and skull base program in the world and is co-principal investigator of the first IRB approved human clinical trial for robotic surgery in the specialty. He is actively developing novel robotic surgical procedures (TORS) and instrumentation to advance the use of this technology in all aspects of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery. He was instrumental in the achievement of US FDA approval in December 2009 for TORS (Trans Oral Robotic Surgery).
