Case 1 is a 15\u2010year\u2010old boy with posterior glottic stenosis for which a robotic\u2010assisted posterior cricoid split with cartilage graft placement was attempted but ultimately required conversion to an open technique. Case 2 is a 6\u2010year\u2010old male with Trisomy 21 who had robotic\u2010assisted endoscopic repair of a type II laryngeal cleft, with subsequent resolution of his chronic aspiration and successful initiation of oral feeding. Case 3 is a 3\u2010year\u2010old female who underwent robotic\u2010assisted left posterior cordectomy and subtotal arytenoidectomy for idiopathic bilateral vocal cord paralysis, resulting in improved Passy\u2010Muir valve tolerance.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>TORS is being increasingly utilized in the field of head and neck surgery as it is frequently less invasive and often demonstrates improved outcomes compared with traditional approaches. This study details our experience utilizing TORS in the management of pediatric airway anomalies and represents one of the earliest such series in the literature. Although TORS has the potential to improve the management of pediatric airway disorders, larger, prospective studies are needed to better elucidate its feasibility and efficacy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title><jats:p>4. <jats:italic>Laryngoscope<\/jats:italic>, 124:2630\u20132635, 2014<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.24753","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,2]],"date-time":"2014-07-02T06:25:25Z","timestamp":1404282325000},"page":"2630-2635","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Applications for transoral robotic surgery in the pediatric airway"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"124","author":[{"given":"Jay K.","family":"Ferrell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Houston Texas U.S.A."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Soham","family":"Roy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Houston Texas U.S.A."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ron J.","family":"Karni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Houston Texas U.S.A."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sancak","family":"Yuksel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Houston Texas U.S.A."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.23913"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.21691"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/thy.2012.0292"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijom.2012.05.035"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MOO.0b013e3283184479"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archoto.2011.1439"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.23294"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348947208100408"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","first-page":"367","article-title":"Paediatric laryngotracheal reconstruction: 20 years experience","volume":"49","author":"Cotton RT","year":"1995","journal-title":"Acta Otorhinolaryngol Belg"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otc.2008.04.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599812472435"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lsm.20058"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otc.2008.04.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.MLG.0000159202.04941.67"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.oraloncology.2010.05.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.20972"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348940711600104"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvoice.2005.10.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anorl.2011.06.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/rcs.1546"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.133.1.46"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_23_1","first-page":"1620","article-title":"Kayhan FT, Kaya KH, Koc AK, Altintas A","year":"2013","journal-title":"Erdur O.
