Abstract
Transoral robotic techniques continue to evolve and their applications have expanded. Traditional transoral techniques have not been used to perform total laryngectomies. Transoral robotic laryngeal surgery, with the ability to suture the mucosa and visualize structures from a variety of angles, has facilitated the development of total laryngectomy techniques. This is a technically demanding procedure which extends the indications of transoral robotic laryngeal surgery.
