Trial Information

Outcomes in Transoral Robotic Microsurgery for Head and Neck Tumors

You have been asked to participate in this research study because you have a benign or malignant tumor in the oral cavity, oropharynx, nasopharynx, hypopharynx, larynx, retropharyngx or parapharyngeal space and the tumor can be treated using conventional transoral surgical procedures. Transoral techniques (or “endoscopic” techniques) are minimally-invasive (that is less invasive than open surgery) and are performed under anesthesia with the jaw suspended for access. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of transoral robotic microsurgery (TORS) for research participants with head and neck tumors. Your treatment on this study is expected to last 2 months for surgery and immediate post-operative care. You will then have routine follow up for 24 months. After this period is over, your medical condition will continue to be followed for at least 5 years as is standard for head and neck cancers.
