Abstract

Otolaryngology, also known as ear, nose, and throat (ENT) medicine, is a medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the head and neck region. In recent years, significant advancements have been made in the field of otolaryngology, ranging from innovative surgical techniques to novel diagnostic tools and therapeutic interventions. This comprehensive review article aims to provide an overview of some of the notable developments in otolaryngology, highlighting their impact on patient care and outcomes. Robotic-assisted surgery has emerged as a revolutionary approach in otolaryngology. The precision and dexterity offered by robotic systems have allowed surgeons to perform complex procedures with enhanced accuracy and reduced invasiveness. The article discusses various applications of robotic surgery in otolaryngology, including Tran’s oral robotic surgery for head and neck cancers, robotic-assisted thyroidectomy, and robotic cochlear implantation.
