Background: Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has renovated the surgical management of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), allowing a minimally invasive surgical approach with optimal oncological outcomes. The recent introduction of the da Vinci Single Port (SP) system resulted in a considerable improvement of TORS technique.
Methods: In this video, we illustrate the transoral robotic lateral oropharyngectomy performed with the da Vinci SP system in a 50-year-old male patient suffering from a p16+ oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma cT4N1M0.
Results: The transoral robotic lateral oropharyngectomy is illustrated step by step. The structures encountered during the resection are described, and the surgical margins are defined based on anatomical landmarks. The most critical regions encountered during resection are pointed out, and the tip and tricks of this surgery are reported.
Conclusions: A step-by-step transoral lateral oropharyngectomy is described to increase its reproducibility. The da Vinci SP system owns various benefits for performing transoral lateral oropharyngectomy due to the increased maneuverability in the narrower oral cavity working spaces.

Background: Excessive flexion of the neck and upper back from severe kyphosis of the thoracic spine may limit treatment options for head and neck cancer (HNC).
Methods: We describe an innovative approach to transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in a patient with severe thoracic kyphosis and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) who was unsuitable for definitive radiotherapy.
Results: Detailed discussion of management pathway, perioperative considerations, and surgical challenges is presented.

Introduction: To report the long-term oncological and functional outcomes of en bloc TORS lateral oropharyngectomy to address the close/involved margin following diagnostic tonsillectomy in HPV-related SCC of unknown primary.
Material And Methods: A single tertiary center observational cohort over a 4-year period. Primary outcome measures were disease-specific survival (DSS), overall survival (OS), and PSS NOD (Performance Status Scale-Normalcy of Diet) scores.
