TransOral Endoscopic Surgery for Posterior Palate (TOESPP): a novel approach for lesions at this location

Abstract

Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has demonstrated its feasibility, high rates of local control and good functional outcomes for lesions of oral cavity, oropharynx and laryngopharynx (1,2). High definition videocameras as well as the new videoendoscopes have a critical role in its results. Nonetheless, robotic platform remains unreachable for many institutions regarding its high costs, being necessary more affordable proposals in order to spread the endoscopic transoral approach philosophy.
