Abstract
The neck dissection is an integral component of comprehensive oncologic care for patients with head and neck cancer. Modern robotic surgical platforms are being utilized within otolaryngology for a growing number of indications, including, robot-assisted neck dissections. The proposed benefits of robot-assisted include improved cosmesis and reductions in post-operative lymphedema. Early data suggests that oncologic control following robot-assisted neck dissection is comparable to the gold-standard, open technique. Here we present review of the surgical techniques involved in a robot-assisted neck dissection as well as a review of perioperative care.
