The utility of augmented reality in lateral skull base surgery: A preliminary report.

Objective: To discuss the utility of augmented reality in lateral skull base surgery.

Patients: Those undergoing lateral skull base surgery at our institution.

Intervention(s): Cerebellopontine angle tumor resection using an augmented reality interface.

Mandibular osteotomy for expanded transoral robotic surgery: a novel technique.

Objectives/hypothesis: Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) has revolutionized the surgical treatment of malignant lesions of the oropharyngeal region. Recent studies have shown that this approach is a very safe procedure and can provide favorable clinical and functional outcomes with respect to traditional approaches. However, a small minority of patients who present with lesions amenable to TORS resection may not be candidates due to anatomical access issues.
