ABSTRACT
We herein report our experience with the management of laryngoceles using transoral robotic surgery (TORS). A bicentric retrospective study was conducted from November 2009 to September 2015. The inclusion criteria were treatment of a laryngocele by TORS and no malignancy on definitive histopathology. Surgery was performed using the Da Vinci (Intuitive®) surgical robot. Surgical methods and post-operative outcomes were evaluated. Eight patients (four men and four women) presenting with a laryngocele (one bilateral case) were included (mean age 61.8 years). There was one covering tracheotomy. The average post-operative stay was 3.75 days. Three patients treated for a combined laryngocele had a nasogastric feeding tube inserted for 5 days. One patient experienced late laryngeal bleeding that required surgical treatment. TORS may offer an efficient treatment option for laryngoceles. The use of precise and flexible instruments and a three-dimensional camera allow fine dissection of these tumours, preserving the glottic space and vocal function, even for combined laryngoceles extending deep within the neck.Evidence level 4.
