Endoscopic Transoral Nasopharyngectomy

Journal of Neurological Surgery Part B: Skull Base, 2020
AbstractBackgroundA minimal access technique for the management of nasopharyngeal tumors extending below the palatal plane and laterally beyond the pterygoid musculature is yet to be developed. In this study we demonstrate the feasibility of endoscopic transoral nasopharyngectomy (ETON) for resection of large nasopharyngeal lesions as a natural orifice

Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2020
GERD is a spectrum disorder, and treatment should be individualized to the patient's anatomic alterations. Trans-oral incisionless fundoplication (TIF 2.0) is an endoscopic procedure which reduces EGJ distensibility, thereby decreasing tLESRs, and also creates a 3-cm high pressure zone at the distal esophagus in the configuration of a flap valve. As it

Transoral Parotidectomy

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America, 2021
Transoral parotidectomy allows for the management of parapharyngeal space tumors and accessory parotid gland tumors without the need for a transfacial/transparotid or mandible splitting procedure. It is a minimally invasive approach that permits a faster recovery and with a lesser risk of facial palsy.

Transoral robotic surgery for the parapharyngeal space: expanding the transoral corridor

Journal of Robotic Surgery, 2019
To analyze the feasibility, surgical outcomes and possible risks and complications encountered during transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for approaching parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumours, a retrospective cohort study was conducted. Out of 108 TORS procedures performed, 5 PPS tumours were identified from May 2011- November 2017.

Transoral and combined transoral–transcervical approach in the surgery of parapharyngeal tumors

European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2009
The goal of parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumor surgery is to obtain adequate visualization to ensure complete removal with preservation of the surrounding nerves and vessels. Different surgical approaches have been described. Transoral approach is the most controversial one due to cited limited exposure, risk of tumor spillage, and possibility of ...

Transoral exposure of the atlantoaxial region

Neurosurgery, 1978
Abstract A broad spectrum of disease entities affects the atlantoaxial-clival region. This area is readily accessible through a transoral approach, which offers capabilities for canal decompression and fusion. A case is reported that required transoral odontoidectomy with concurrent excision of an osteophyte from the base of an ununited ...

Transoral Robotic Surgery

AORN Journal, 2016
AbstractTransoral robotic surgery (TORS) is a technique used to treat oral, throat, and skull base cancers using a minimally invasive robotic approach through the mouth and throat. The TORS procedure allows deeper access and dissection of suspicious lesions and neoplastic growths in the oral cavity and those that extend from the throat to the base of ...

Transoral thyroid and parathyroid surgery—Development of a new transoral technique

Surgery, 2011
Transluminal interventions via so-called natural orifices are gaining interest because they allow operative treatment without any skin incision. We previously described a transoral access for (para-)thyroid resection in pigs. To proceed with the first clinical trials, we evaluated the safety of the new technique.Transoral hemithyroidectomies were ...

3D Transoral Endoscopic Thyroid.

Surgical technology international, 2023
Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy with vestibular approach (TOETVA) is a feasible new surgical procedure that does not require visible incisions. We describe our experience with three-dimensional (3D) TOETVA. We recruited 98 patients who were willing to undergo 3D TOETVA.

A comparison of transnasal and transoral oesophagogastroduodenoscopy*

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 1998
Transnasal oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) with a narrow‐bore endoscope has been demonstrated to be feasible in unsedated volunteers. The aim of the study was to compare efficacy, safety, patient tolerance and costs between this novel approach to OGD and standard sedated OGD.
