Summary:

This books describes the preoperative aspects of Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS), including patient evaluation, instrumentation and set-up, moving on to diagnostic endoscopic and surgical techniques for tonsillectomy, laryngectomy, tongue base and glottic resection, and speech and swallowing considerations. It also examines the potential for TORS in skull-base surgery, its future application and, importantly, telesurgery via the Internet.
