Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a combination of high-definition 3D magnification, robotic technology, and miniature instruments to enhance a head and neck surgeon’s skills when removing a benign tumor or cancerous tissue from a patient’s throat (pharynx or larynx).
It is a procedure to remove mouth and throat cancers in which a surgeon uses a sophisticated, computer-enhanced system to guide the surgical tools.
TORS has dramatically improved the way doctors treat head and neck cancer patients, completely removing tumors while preserving speech, swallowing, and resulting in a quicker recovery.
