Abstract
has been reported with feasibility trials andpromising initial data. The combination of the two proce-dures, supraglottic and hypopharyngeal TORS resection,can be adapted to perform a TORS total laryngectomy(TORS-TL). In the past, TORS-TL has been met with skep-tical criticism as to its ultimate clinical benefit. Conversely,the authors suggest that the minimally invasive TORSapproach offers significant benefits toward improvingpatient recuperation and the avoidance of substantial post-operative morbidity. However, such benefits can only bedemonstrated following repeated clinical experience. It isthe purpose of this report to describe the surgical protocolutilized by the authors to encourage further application andstudy of this promising surgical advancement.
