Abstract

The literature is scarce regarding transoral robotic surgery (TORS) with simultaneous neck dissection. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of concurrent neck dissection in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) treated with TORS. Analysis of 113 patients with oropharyngeal SCC treated with TORS and concurrent neck dissection. Six intraoperative communications between the pharynx and neck region were recognized. After pharyngeal mucosal flap advancement, 1 defect was closed primarily and another one was reinforced with acellular dermal matrix. In 1 case, submandibular gland was transposed posteriorly over the sutured defect as a support. One omohyoid and 2 digastric muscular pedicle rotation flaps were used in the remaining 3 patients for the reconstruction of pharyngeal communications. None of the patients developed postoperative pharyngocutaneous fistula. The advantage of TORS oropharyngectomy, when compared with open approaches, is the avoidance of pharyngocutaneous fistula even in the presence of concurrent neck dissection © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
