Abstract

Robotic technology has been slowly integrated into various fields of medicine with few complications. Advances in oncologic technology through robotic surgery have aimed to reduce patient mortality while maintaining similar surgical outcomes as other older techniques [1]. When robotic surgery was first explored, Intuitive Surgical® developed the da Vinci surgical robot for procedures originally in urology [2]. In recent years, robotic surgery has become smoothly incorporated into head and neck oncologic surgery.
