Objectives: Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for benign glottic conditions is scarcely represented in the literature. We aimed in this study to report on the technical feasibility of an explicitly transoral robotic approach for a patient with posterior glottic stenosis, and to highlight extant limitations in exposure and robotic instrumentation of the glottis.
Methods: Retrospective chart review of a single patient undergoing a TORS approach to maximize the posterior glottic aperture.

Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is nowadays considered a valuable minimally invasive approach to treat oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). The aim of this technique is to improve functional preservation and reduce morbidity with excellent oncologic outcomes compared to the traditional transoral approach and chemoradiotherapy (CRT). The purpose of this systematic review is to assess an exhaustive overview of functional outcomes of TORS for OPSCC by evaluating several parameters reported in the available literature, such as the prevalence and dependence of tracheotomy, feeding tubes (FTs) and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), the length of hospitalization, swallowing scores, speech tests and quality of life (QoL) questionnaires.

Background: This systematic review investigated the surgical, functional, and oncological outcomes of transoral robotic supraglottic laryngectomy (TORS-SGL) for cT1-T3 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC).
Methods: Two investigators conducted an updated PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library systematic review for studies investigating the surgical, functional, and oncological outcomes of TORS-SGL using the PRISMA statements. The bias analysis was conducted with the MINORS.

Introduction: Atypical pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is an uncommon tumor, more frequent in submandibular and parotid glands. PA is classified as atypical when it presents hypercellularity, necrosis or hyalinization, dysplasia, capsular violation or distant metastases.
Case Report: We described a case of a 39-year-old female presented with a slowly growing mass involving the soft palate.

Purpose: This retrospective cohort study aims to evaluate the clinical, oncological, and functional outcomes of transoral non-robotic surgery for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC).
Materials And Methods: Data from 131 patients with surgically treated OPSCC (2010-2022) were analyzed. Patients who underwent exclusively transoral surgery were included in the study.
