Intraoral anastomosis for primary microsurgical reconstruction in patients of oral cavity malignancies: Retrospective analysis of 30 cases from a tertiary care center in India.

Introduction: In patients undergoing either robotic neck dissection or no neck dissection, the neck recipient vessels for the free flaps remain unexposed. Intraoral vessels have been successfully used as microvascular recipients but their use in intraoral malignancies is uncommon. We describe our initial experience of using intraoral recipients in 30 patients with oral cavity malignancies.

Modified Preauricular Cervico-facial Approach for Oral Cancers: an Analysis of Oncological and Functional Outcomes.

The quest for a more cosmetic and functionally better approach to oral cancer continues unabated. The modified facelift and preauricular approaches have been a common approach in trauma and cosmetic surgery. In the current study, we evaluate the feasibility and functional outcomes of a preauricular cervico-facial approach for compartmental resection of complex gingiva-buccal complex tumours with concurrent neck dissection.

Technical and anatomic considerations of skin flap elevation in bilateral axillo-breast insufflation robotic-assisted neck dissection.

We have divided the chest and neck flap elevation for neck dissection into four steps. The flaps are divided into three zones corresponding to the vascular structures, which can be injured in this area. Our modifications outline safe techniques of flap elevation for robotic neck dissection.

Transoral Robotic Surgery for Recurrent Tumors of the Upper Aerodigestive Tract (RECUT): An International Cohort Study.

Background: Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is an emerging minimally invasive surgical treatment for residual, recurrent, and new primary head and neck cancers in previously irradiated fields, with limited evidence for its oncological effectiveness.

Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study of consecutive cases performed in 16 high-volume international centers before August 2018 was conducted (registered at clinicaltrials.gov [NCT04673929] as the RECUT study).

Robotic transoral approach for salvage retropharyngeal node dissection: an analysis of functional and oncological outcomes.

Presence of metastatic tumour in the retropharyngeal node has a negative impact on the prognosis. We present here our 5-year experience and the outcomes of transoral robotic retropharyngeal node dissection (RPND) in salvage settings. Hospital database was accessed to extract details of patients with head and neck cancer who developed retropharyngeal (RP) node metastasis.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the superior gingivobuccal sulcus: an 11-year institutional experience of 203 cases.

Objective: The report presents an 11-year Institutional experience of 203 cases with superior gingivobuccal sulcus tumours receiving surgical intervention at a comprehensive tertiary cancer care centre.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of superior gingivobuccal sulcus was done and data related to patient demographic profile; details of surgical procedure, follow-up and survival were collected.

Results: Infratemporal fossa clearance was performed in 56 patients.
