Transoral Robotic Cordectomy for Early Glottic Carcinoma

Abstract

Transoral robotic cordectomy with the da Vinci Surgical System was found to be feasible, relatively safe, and effective. The lower morbidity rate was an advantage of this method. Transoral robotic surgery provides better exposure, visualization, and access than does transoral laser microsurgery. Cordectomy with transoral robotic surgery should be an alternative to external-approach cordectomy and transoral laser microsurgery.
