Transoral Robotic Surgery in Ahmedabad
What is Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS)?
Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) is a minimally invasive technique where specialized robotic instruments and a high-definition 3D camera remove tumors of the throat, tonsils, tongue base, and voice box through the mouth, without any external cuts.
The robotic system allows extremely fine movements, better visualization, and precise removal of tumors, especially those located deep in the throat. TORS offers excellent cancer control while preserving swallowing, speaking, and breathing functions.
When is Transoral Robotic Surgery Needed?
TORS is recommended in the following situations:
Tumors of the Tonsil or Tongue Base
Ideal for cancers located deep in the throat where open surgery would be more invasive.
HPV-Related Oropharyngeal Cancers
Commonly treated with TORS due to accessible location and good functional outcomes.
Early to Moderately Advanced Throat Cancers
Allows precise removal while protecting nearby muscles and nerves.
Selected Cases After Radiation Therapy
Useful for removing small recurrent tumors safely and accurately.
What the Transoral Robotic Surgery Involves?
TORS is performed entirely through the mouth. Using a robotic system, the surgeon controls tiny instruments that bend and rotate with more flexibility than the human hand. This allows the surgeon to reach deep areas of the throat without making external cuts on the face or neck.
The camera provides a magnified 3D view of the surgical area, helping the surgeon remove the tumor accurately while preserving healthy structures. Because the approach is minimally invasive, patients usually experience less bleeding, less pain, and a quicker return to normal activities.
A detailed evaluation of the throat and imaging to locate the tumor precisely.
Using robotic instruments controlled by the surgeon to remove the tumor safely.
Most patients begin swallowing early and recover faster than with open surgery.
