How Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) is performed
Transoral robotic surgery (if applicable) is mostly used for lesions accessible through the mouth. Under general anesthesia, a retractor is used in conjunction with a robotic arm and a 3D mirror to excise the lesion along its borders and achieve hemostasis. Rapid pathological assessment of the margins is performed when necessary. Respiratory and bleeding are monitored during the procedure. Postoperatively, focus is on observing the airway, pain, and swallowing safety, with nutritional support provided as appropriate. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
