Abstract
BACKGROUND: Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has renovated the surgical management of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), allowing a minimally invasive surgical approach with optimal oncological outcomes. The recent introduction of the da Vinci Single Port (SP) system resulted in a considerable improvement of TORS technique. METHODS: In this video, we illustrate the transoral robotic lateral oropharyngectomy performed with the da Vinci SP system in a 50-year-old male patient suffering from a p16+ oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma cT4N1M0. RESULTS: The transoral robotic lateral oropharyngectomy is illustrated step by step. The structures encountered during the resection are described, and the surgical margins are defined based on anatomical landmarks. The most critical regions encountered during resection are pointed out, and the tip and tricks of this surgery are reported. CONCLUSIONS: A step-by-step transoral lateral oropharyngectomy is described to increase its reproducibility. The da Vinci SP system owns various benefits for performing transoral lateral oropharyngectomy due to the increased maneuverability in the narrower oral cavity working spaces.
