On Friday April 23, 2010 the first Trans-oral endoscopic surgical procedure using a DaVinci Robotic System was performed in the Department of Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery by Dr. Lisa Shnayder. Dr. Shnayder and her team are the first Head and Neck surgeons in the region to use the DaVinci robot technology for the treatment of benign and small cancerous tumors (T1 and T2).
Endoscopic instruments are carefully inserted through the mouth, without making any outside incisions. The use of a 3D camera provides a highly magnified view of the operating field, allowing the surgeon to remove cancer with a precise margin of a healthy tissue. This gradual technique preserves healthy tissues of the mouth and throat as well as their function including swallowing, breathing and voice production.
These are some of the benefits of the transoral robotic surgery which have been confirmed by 5-year-long research trials in human patients:
* Significantly less blood loss
* No visible scars
* Fewer patients require tracheotomy
* Eliminate or decrease the dose of radiation therapy
* Shorter hospital stay
* Fast recovery and return to normal speech and swallowing
