Nevertheless, clinical experience with this platform in Europe remains limited \u2013 particularly in the field of minimally invasive head and neck surgery. In this report, we present the case of a 51-year-old man with p16-positive squamous cell carcinoma of the right tonsil who underwent transoral robotic resection using the da Vinci SP system, combined with contralateral tonsillectomy and bilateral neck dissection, at a German university hospital. To our knowledge, this represents one of the earliest reported oncologic applications of the da Vinci SP system in Germany following CE mark approval, highlighting its integration into established multimodal treatment pathways for oropharyngeal carcinoma. Further multicenter studies are required to define its role in clinical implementation compared with established techniques such as transoral laser microsurgery and earlier robotic systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjag464","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,27]],"date-time":"2026-05-27T11:41:32Z","timestamp":1779882092000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Robot-assisted oropharyngeal cancer surgery using the da Vinci SP system: a step-by-step case presentation"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2356-7494","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christopher","family":"Seifen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, University Medical Center Mainz , Mainz ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christoph","family":"Matthias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, University Medical Center Mainz , Mainz ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1859-9213","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter","family":"Grimminger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General, Visceral and Transplant Surgery, University Medical Center Mainz , Mainz ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tilman","family":"Huppertz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, University Medical Center Mainz , Mainz ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026062506233496100_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"577","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-007-0280-6","article-title":"Twenty-five years experience with laser surgery for head and neck tumors: report of an international symposium, G\u00f6ttingen, Germany, 2005","volume":"264","author":"J\u00e4ckel","year":"2007","journal-title":"Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol"},{"key":"2026062506233496100_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1220","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.133.12.1220","article-title":"Transoral robotic surgery: radical tonsillectomy","volume":"133","author":"Weinstein","year":"2007","journal-title":"Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg"},{"key":"2026062506233496100_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"391","DOI":"10.1097\/SLE.0000000000000313","article-title":"The settings, pros and cons of the new surgical robot da Vinci Xi system for transoral robotic surgery (TORS): a comparison with the popular da Vinci Si system","volume":"26","author":"Kim","year":"2016","journal-title":"Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech"},{"key":"2026062506233496100_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1007\/s11701-020-01132-0","article-title":"Is the Da Vinci Xi system a real improvement for oncologic transoral robotic surgery?
