Robotics in Head and Neck Surgery

Robots and artificial intelligence have made their presence felt in the realm of surgery. Robotic surgery is a cutting-edge development in surgery that will have far reaching implications. While improving precision and dexterity, this emerging technology allows surgeons to perform operations that were traditionally not amenable to minimal access techniques. As a result, the benefits of minimal-access surgery may be applicable to a wider range of procedures. This compilation serves as a quick overview of the advantages, disadvantages and utility of Robotics in Head and Neck Surgery.
