Abstract

Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in the pediatric population is in its infancy. Currently, there are few pediatric centers using TORS, but its use is increasing, and a body of literature is growing to support expanding this novel technology. Robotic surgery has become more commonplace in otolaryngology training programs, and the pediatric experience has grown from vast knowledge developing within adult surgical practices. Herein, the authors describe common indications for TORS in children, with an overview of patient selection, operating room setup, and instrumentation. Key steps of common procedures are outlined, and future directions for this novel technology are explored.
