Ten patients underwent transoral robotic surgery-only resection, with no intra-operative or post-operative complications and no evidence of recurrence during follow-up. Eight patients were treated with combined transoral robotic surgery\u2013open approaches, achieving comparable oncologic control, albeit with a higher rate of tracheostomy and feeding tube placement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0022215125104234_sec4d\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Transoral robotic surgery-only represents a valid strategy for selected small and well-localised parapharyngeal space malignancies, ensuring favourable oncologic and functional outcomes.
