Training in Transoral Robotic Surgery

Modern medicine increasingly demands integration with technological advancements in health sciences. This Transoral Robotic Surgery program was designed to offer an update on one of the key tools for high-precision surgery: the DaVinci® platform, produced by Intuitive Surgical – CA. Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) refers to a set of surgical procedures performed through the oral cavity in a robot-assisted manner using the DaVinci® platform. It is used for treating both benign and malignant pathologies. The robotic technology offers the surgeon a three-dimensional view of the tissues with high definition and magnification. The use of articulated instruments allows movements with an amplitude of up to 270º, providing precision and skill in executing the surgical technique. TORS was initially described as a minimally invasive technique for the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer, representing a major advancement in terms of functional outcomes and postoperative recovery. The use of TORS in treating patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea—who do not adapt to Positive Pressure Therapy (CPAP) due to hypopharyngeal and supraglottic obstruction—is already well-established in the literature. The goal in this pathology is the resection of soft tissues, which may include the lingual tonsil and, possibly, the tongue base musculature, along with supraglottoplasty to prevent epiglottic collapse. Hands-on course in trans-oral surgery, with a review of head and neck anatomy and training on DaVinci® platform.
