Ear Nose Throat J. 2020 Dec 02;:145561320977463 Authors: Chebib E, Lechien JR, Chekkoury Y, Hans S Abstract The surgical treatment of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has undergone a considerable evolution, with, among others, transoral robotic surgery (TORS). However, TORS is rarely used for the surgery of soft palate. A 73-year-old man presented a human papilloma virus OSCC of the posterior soft palate. The tumor was resected using TORS. This report describes the surgical technique step by step of the tumor resection. The resection of early stage OSCC of the posterior surface of soft palate is possible through TORS. The procedure is noninvasive, rapid, and seems to be associated with excellent functional outcomes. PMID: 33263437 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] View on the web Inoreader.
