Abstract

Since the initial introduction of the surgical robotic system, the development of transoral robotic surgery and robotic transaxillary thyroidectomy techniques has further provided potentials in extending the robotic applications to other neck surgeries. Based on earlier reports in the literature and our surgical experiences, this chapter will illustrate in detail various robotic head and neck surgeries via retroauricular (RA) approach. From the universal application of the RA approach together with the robotic surgical system, it is expected that the paradigm shift from the transcervical incision to the RA incision in neck surgery will open a new era of head and neck surgery.
