Abstract
Background
Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has emerged as a novel, safe, and feasible procedure for the resection of malignant supraglottic laryngeal cancers. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the surgical technique with extension of the use of TORS to excise a laryngeal cyst.
Results
Laryngeal cyst resection, along with its tract, was accomplished with preservation of both false and true vocal cords. There was no perioperative or early postoperative complications. The patient was extubated immediately after surgery. Oral diet was initiated within 24 hours. No tracheostomy was required. A video demonstration of the surgical technique is included on Head & Neck's website.
Conclusion
TORS is a safe and feasible procedure for excision of selected laryngeal cysts.
