Objectives: Laryngeal rhabdomyomas are extremely rare, benign striated muscle tumors that have been documented only ∼50 times in the literature. They can be subdivided into two types: fetal and adult types, with the adult type being more common. Common presenting symptoms include hoarseness or progressive dysphagia.

There has been rapid growth in the utilization of robotic surgery in the head and neck. Its utilization in the phonosurgical space has lagged owing to difficulty with access and exposure to the laryngeal site, small working space due to the size of the larynx and the need to work around an endotracheal tube. The goal of this work is to explore recent developments in robotic microlaryngeal surgery.
