Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) can be utilized to access RPLNs. The purpose of this study was to describe a TORS approach to RPLN dissection.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A case series of patients undergoing RPLN dissection by TORS was conducted and compared to matched controls (1:2).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twelve patients underwent robotic RPLN dissection. Median age was 63 years (range, 43\u201373 years). Pathology was oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in 9 patients and papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) in 3 patients. The feeding tube dependence duration was 12 days (range, 1\u201346 days) on average. Complications occurred in 8 patients (66%); most commonly, aspiration pneumonitis in 6 patients. In comparison to the matched controls (24), there was no difference in length of stay or feeding tube dependence. Complications were higher in patients with oropharyngeal SCC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>TORS is feasible for accessing RPLNs. The procedure is well tolerated in patients with PTC; whereas patients with oropharyngeal SCC are at increased risk of complications. \u00a9 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. <jats:italic>Head Neck<\/jats:italic> <jats:bold>38<\/jats:bold>: E981\u2013E986, 2016<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.24140","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,4]],"date-time":"2015-06-04T01:15:33Z","timestamp":1433380533000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Transoral robotic retropharyngeal node dissection"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Babak","family":"Givi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery New York University New York New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Scott H.","family":"Troob","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Oregon Health and Science University Portland Oregon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Will","family":"Stott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Oregon Health and Science University Portland Oregon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Teresa","family":"Cordeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Oregon Health and Science University Portland Oregon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter E.","family":"Andersen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Oregon Health and Science University Portland Oregon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Neil D.","family":"Gross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Head and Neck Surgery The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston Texas"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9610(64)90143-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.2890070514"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.2880170304"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.2880160212"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200106000-00031"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.130.2.169"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.133.12.1220"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.21669"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.23294"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","first-page":"648","volume-title":"AJCC cancer staging manual","author":"Edge SB","year":"2010"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.21526"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MLG.0b013e31805819ba"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aorl.2008.10.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.20513"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348941011900401"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/SCS.0b013e318293f860"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.24009"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11701-011-0269-4"}],"container-title":["Head &amp; Neck"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fhed.24140","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fhed.24140","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/hed.24140","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,10]],"date-time":"2023-09-10T02:05:55Z","timestamp":1694311555000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/hed.24140"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,18]]},"references-count":18,"journal-issue":{"issue":"S1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2016,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/hed.24140"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/hed.24140","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1043-3074","1097-0347"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1043-3074","type":"print"},{"value":"1097-0347","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,18]]}}}
