Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in treating patients with benign or malignant tumors of the head and neck. TORS is a less invasive type of surgery for head and neck cancer and may have fewer side effects and improve recovery

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria3

  • Patient must present with indications for diagnostic or therapeutic approaches for benign and/or malignant diseases of the oral cavity or laryngopharynx (including the neoplastic lesions of the tongue, tongue base, retromolar trigone, tonsils, palate, posterior and lateral pharynx, glottic, supraglottic and subglottic larynx)
  • Patients must have adequate transoral exposure of the oral cavity and laryngopharynx for TORS instrumentation
  • Written informed consent and/or Consent waiver by institutional review board (IRB)

Exclusion Criteria6

  • Unexplained fever and/or untreated, active infection
  • Patient pregnancy
  • Previous head and neck surgery that would preclude transoral/robotic procedures. This is at the investigator's discretion. This is not an exclusion criterion for the non-surgical arm.
  • The presence of medical conditions contraindicating general anesthesia or transoral surgical approaches
  • Inability to grant informed consent
  • Inability to adequately visualize anatomy to perform the diagnostic or therapeutic surgical approach transorally

Interventions

PROCEDUREtransoral robotic surgery

Undergo TORS using the Da Vinci Robotic Surgical System

PROCEDUREquality of life assessment

After surgery regular clinical assessments will be scheduled to see how the patient is doing. Patients will be asked to answer a quality of life assessment as part of the study. If patients are unable to come to the Ohio State University Medical Center for a physician appointment they will be contacted via phone or mailed a questionnaire to complete.
