TORS
Transoral robotic resection can be considered when benign pharyngeal tumors or early to partially localized malignant tumors can be adequately exposed transorally based on imaging and endoscopy. The decision is influenced by the location and size of the lesion, extralaryngeal invasion, history of pr

How TORS is performed
This procedure involves minimally invasive transoral resection, which may utilize multi-arm three-dimensional imaging and retractors to expose the lesion. Under general anesthesia, the lesion is located, the resection margin is marked, and the lesion is resected layer by layer, with hemostasis achieved using energy devices. Rapid pathology may be performed as needed, and it can also be combined with neck management. Postoperative monitoring focuses on bleeding, airway, and swallowing. The goal is to preserve vocal and swallowing function as much as possible while resecting the lesion. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
