Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <sec id="abs1-1" sec-type="section"> <title>Objectives/Hypothesis:</title> <p>To describe a single center outcomes following transoral robotic surgery for supraglottic laryngectomy (TORS–SL).</p> </sec> <sec id="abs1-2" sec-type="section"> <title>Study Design:</title> <p>Prospective data collection.</p> </sec> <sec id="abs1-3" sec-type="section"> <title>Methods:</title> <p>Patient records receiving TORS–SL for squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA) with at least 12 months follow‐up fit inclusion for this study.

All patients had negative margins confirmed on final pathology. Nine (50%) patients received postoperative chemoradiation therapy for advanced neck disease. No (0%) patients received tracheostomy or gastrostomy tubes. There were no (0%) local recurrences, and three (16.7%) regional recurrences. Five (27.8%) patients experienced temporary postoperative complications. Overall 2‐year outcomes reached 83%, 100%, and 89% for locoregional control, disease‐specific survival, and overall survival respectively.</p> </sec> <sec id="abs1-5" sec-type="section"> <title>Conclusions:</title> <p>Initial outcomes for TORS–SL are encouraging and are comparable to previously described treatment modalities.
