[INTRODUCTION] Mastering microsurgery requires advanced fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and precision, making it challenging for novices. Robot-assisted microsurgery offers benefits, such as eliminating physiological tremors and e…

[BACKGROUND] To describe utilization and outcomes of submandibular gland flap (SGF) reconstruction after transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). [METHODS] A multi-institutional retrospective case…

[OBJECTIVE] Hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is an aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis due to frequently late-stage presentation and intrinsic anatomical complexity. Surgery remains a key treatment, and resection margins are cru…

The ileocolon flap is a fully autologous, single-stage option in the reconstruction of challenging laryngoesophageal defects, restoring voice and swallowing in patients. This procedure represents one of the most sophisticated cases in the f…

Robots have been used effectively in plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS) for reconstruction. The utilization of robotics in all surgical specialties is expanding with the goal of offering the most appropriate patient-centered care poss…

[OBJECTIVE] The objective of this review is to determine the comparative effectiveness of unimodality organ preservation surgery versus radiotherapy on oncological and functional outcomes in patients with early hypopharyngeal cancer. [INTR…

[PURPOSE OF REVIEW] To review the pros and cons of treating supraglottic laryngeal cancer with transoral laser microsurgery (TOLM) or transoral robotic surgery (TORS). [RECENT FINDINGS] The use of TORS is limited by the cost and the availa…

This article presents the first robotic-assisted DIEP flap breast reconstruction in Eastern Europe, performed at the Regional Institute of Oncology Iasi, Romania. A 48-year-old female, three years post-Madden mastectomy, underwent autologou…

[BACKGROUND] In recent years, the development of robotic surgery has been rapidly evolving as well as the interest in their use due to the advantages they provide, such as precision in dissection, the ability to magnify the visualization of…

[BACKGROUND] In cases of prevalent lymphadenopathy in the head and neck cancer region, identifying the primary tumor site allows for more precise radiotherapy targeting. This improves treatment by reducing the volumes of mucosal irradiation…

[BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES] Robotic systems offer enhanced precision, dexterity, and visualization, which are essential in addressing the complex nature of plastic surgery procedures. Despite widespread adoption in other surgical specialties, s…

[OBJECTIVE] To assess the opinion, practices, and challenges of international key opinion leaders about two minimal invasive surgical techniques in supraglottic laryngeal tumours: transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) and the transoral robotic…

Machine learning (ML) is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables computers to learn from data and discern patterns without direct instruction. This review explores cutting-edge developments in microsurgery through the lens of …

[OBJECTIVE] To compare the surgical, functional and oncological outcomes of Transoral Laser Microsurgery (TLM) and Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) for the treatment of supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective cas…

[PURPOSE] To synthesize evidence on the effect of early post-stroke spasticity interventions. [METHODS] Systematic literature search (PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science) encompassing studies on spasticity reducing interventions within 3 mo…

Robot-assisted surgery represents a significant innovation in reconstructive microsurgery, providing enhanced precision and reduced surgeon fatigue. This study examines the integration of robotic assistance in a series of 85 consecutive rob…

[BACKGROUND] Endodontic file fractures are common complications of root canal treatment, and requires removal via specialized techniques such as endodontic microsurgery when the file beyond the apical foramen. It is often challenging to pre…
