Abstract

In recent years, transoral robotic surgery (TORS) with the Da Vinci robot has been used for the removal of laryngeal cancers with the objective to improve functional and aesthetic outcomes without worsening survival. The advantages of TORS are described in this article. However, its disadvantages, mainly high cost amongst others, do not make robotic surgery the current treatment of choice for laryngeal tumours; transoral laser surgery is superior in most cases. Major technical improvements are expected. Smaller, more ergonomic, new-generation robots better adapted to the head and neck will probably be available in the near future.

Resumen

Recientemente se ha introducido en el bagaje quirúrgico del otorrinolaringólogo el empleo del robot Da Vinci para tratar tumores laríngeos con la justificación de mejorar los resultados funcionales y estéticos sin comprometer la supervivencia. En esta revisión se describen las ventajas de la cirugía robótica transoral (TORS), aunque las desventajas de la misma, principalmente su elevado coste, nos hacen preferir otras modalidades terapéuticas, principalmente la cirugía láser transoral. Se esperan en el futuro inmediato mejoras técnicas importantes en la cirugía robótica, con aparatos más pequeños, ergonómicos, de nueva generación, mejor adaptados al área cervicofacial.
