“…A similar study done by DeVirgilio et al [38] performed robotic sialadenectomy of the SMG with a modified facelift approach in five patients with benign pathologies. They used a similar operative approach as Lee et al except that they initially created a supra-platysmal flap prior to encountering the SMG.…”

Robotic surgery has revolutionized surgical capabilities and continues to change surgical approaches and management. Robotic surgery is in its infancy with respect to head and neck surgery. However, there are several validated indications for robotics in ENT. The authors discuss the role of robotic surgery specifically related to salivary gland disease and discuss the indications, complications and anatomic nuances that justify the current role and continued effort to expand indications for robotic surgery in the field of head and neck surgery.

“…However, the hybridized technique described above aims to, and has so far succeeded in, reducing these risks [41]. The da Vinci robotic system also requires an adequate learning curve for the surgeon and assistant, which can affect operative time for less experienced surgeons [38].…”

“…Indications for the robotic approach in the head and neck area are increasing day by day. More recently, also the neck and submandibular regions have been addressed in preliminary series by means of a face-lift approach [6], and even reconstructive surgery is now increasingly using the daVinci technology [7,8,9,10]. Currently, infratemporal and skull base regions have been explored in preclinical studies [11,12,13,14,15].…”

Aims: To assess the role of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in managing failures of conventional transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) in cases with difficult laryngeal exposure. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 3 patients with difficult laryngeal exposure treated with TORS. All 3 cases failed to be managed by conventional TLM after repeated attempts by experienced surgeons. In 2 cases, the initial disease was laryngeal cancer treated by a cricohyoidoepiglottopexy, with an obstructing residual epiglottis. The last case was a bilateral Reinke disease submitted to repeated TLM procedures, producing multiple supraglottic and glottic scars. In all cases, the difficult exposure was produced by a combination of concurrent elements including insufficient mouth opening, short and stiff neck, macroglossia and high-positioned larynx. Results: Two patients were exposed by means of a Davis Meyer mouth gag. The other patient was managed by a Feyh-Kastenbauer device. The key of the success was the possibility to work ‘around the corner' (30° angle view) where straight alignment of the larynx was impossible. Conclusions: Where possible, a TORS approach should be considered complementary to TLM in cases of very difficult or even impossible conventional transoral laryngoscopic approach.

“…Endoscopic SMG resection via a facelift incision has shown superior cosmetic results than the conventional approach [4] and a better visual field than the transoral endoscopic approach [5,6]. However, it is sometimes difficult to achieve sufficient working space during the surgical procedure, thus, necessitating an additional long curvilinear incision along the postauricular sulcus and hairline as well as wide extension of the subcutaneous dissection [6][7][8][9]. Of most importance is that the risk of great auricular nerve (GAN) damage may be increased when elevating the skin flap or using endoscopic instruments.…”
