Robotic Microlaryngeal Surgery: A Technical Feasibility Study Using the daVinci Surgical Robot and an Airway Mannequin

Abstract

Robot-assisted laryngeal surgery can be performed with currently available technology. The potential for fine manipulation of tissues, increased freedom of instrument movement, and endolaryngeal suturing may increase the precision of endoscopic laryngeal microsurgery and offers the potential to increase the variety of laryngeal procedures that can be performed endoscopically.
