We live in an era of increasing availability of highly technological tools that allow for reducing, where possible, the invasiveness of the surgical procedures needed to remove cancer. Also in the head and neck area, transoral procedures increasingly replace the traditional, more invasive, open access procedures. Crucial developments promoting this evolution were the popularization of transoral laser microsurgery and, more recently, transoral robotic approaches. It is logical to expect that these approaches will entail better function for the patients, and thus better quality of life, provided that the obtained oncological radicality is the same or better than that obtained with the more inv...
