Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS)
What is Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS)?
Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) is a minimally invasive robotic-assisted procedure used to treat tumors located in the mouth, throat (oropharynx), and voice box (larynx).
It allows surgeons to remove cancerous or benign growths through the mouth without making external incisions.
Your Guide to Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS)
-HPV-related throat cancer

-A lump in the neck or throat
-Change in voice or hoarseness
-Difficulty swallowing or breathing
-Unexplained weight loss

-Performed under general anesthesia
-A robotic system with small instruments and a camera is inserted through the mouth
-The surgeon controls the robot from a console to carefully remove the tumor
-No external cuts or scars are made
What is Robotic Surgery for TORS?
Robotic Surgery for Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) is a specialized form of minimally invasive surgery designed to remove tumors of the throat, base of tongue, tonsils, and voice box through the mouth without external cuts.
In this technique, the surgeon uses a robotic system to perform complex procedures with greater precision, control, and flexibility than is possible with the human hand alone.
Rather than making large external incisions, the robotic arms and a high-definition 3D camera are inserted through the natural opening of the mouth. The surgeon then controls the robot from a console, allowing precise removal of the tumor while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

Types of Colon Cancer Surgery
Polypectomy
Applied to very early cancers before they are large polyps. They are removed by the surgeon in the course of colonoscopy and do not require extensive surgery hence recover quickly.
Colectomy
Includes the removal of the colon and/or reattaching the intestine. It can be achieved either through open procedure, laparoscopic, or robotic procedures with quicker healing.
Hemicolectomy
Amputates the right or left side of the colon together with the lymph nodes near the colon. This surgery is commonly done when cancer is limited to one side of the colon.
Colostomy
