TRANS-CERVICAL ROBOTIC SURGERY

In re-positioning the incision to the posterior neck

e.g. via RATH incision, the flexible camera and

dexterous robotic arms of robotic surgical system

is essential for visualization of pathologies in the

anterior neck, which in turn enables resection

under direct vision.

The camera and two robotic instruments are

introduced via the RATH incision as shown.
