Objectives: The Da Vinci robotic surgical system was used for head and neck surgery. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility, safety, and effect of postauricular approach on the resection of lateral neck cysts.
Methods: Eleven patients with lateral neck cysts were enrolled in this retrospective study and accepted robot-assisted surgery via a postauricular approach. Data on volume of cervical cysts, length of incision, bleeding volume, mean operating time, and hospitalization time were analyzed. The postoperative esthetic satisfaction of patients was investigated.
Results: In this case series, the average length of the incision was 6.67 cm. Bleeding volumes ranged from 10 to 20 mL. Average operation time was 55 min. Four patients developed postauricular numbness after the operation, and all recovered over 3 months. No other serious adverse events occurred after the operation. Postoperative cosmetic outcomes were satisfactory. During the follow-up median period of 38.2 months, there was no evidence of recurrence or long-term complications.
Conclusion: Robot-assisted resection for lateral neck cysts via a postauricular approach is feasible and safe and yields excellent cosmetic outcomes.

Real-time measurement of head rotation, a primary human body movement, offers potential advantages in rehabilitating head or neck motor disorders, promoting seamless human-robot interaction, and tracking the lateral glance of children with autism spectrum disorder for effective intervention. However, existing options such as cameras capturing the entire face or skin-attached sensors have limitations concerning privacy, safety, and/or usability. This research introduces a novel method that employs a battery-free RFID tag-based wearable sensor for monitoring head orientation, as a substitute for the existing options like camera.

In developing nations like India, chronic otitis media (COM) is a common middle ear ailment that has serious ramifications for both hearing and quality of life. Long-term inflammation of middle ear cavity and tympanic membrane are the hallmarks of COM, which can result in consequences like facial paralysis, labyrinthitis, hearing loss, and potentially fatal cerebral abscesses. The effect of COM on vestibular function is still unknown.
