The Emergence of Endoscopic Head and Neck Surgery CURRENT ONCOLOGY REPORTS Holsinger, F. C., Sweeney, A. D., Jantharapattana, K., Salem, A., Weber, R. S., Chung, W. Y., Lewis, C. M., Grant, D. G. 2010; 12 (3): 216-222

Abstract

Endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques represent a natural evolution for the discipline of head and neck surgery. Endoscopic head and neck surgery (eHNS) encompasses transoral laser microsurgery, transoral robotic surgery, as well as video-assisted and robotic surgery of the neck and thyroid. In the next 5 years, with robotic surgery and laser technology as a common platform, we foresee the development and widespread use of eHNS procedures, via transoral and transaxillary approaches.
