Abstract：
Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) provides a minimally invasive approach to address tumors in selected and challenging anatomical locations. Among the critical areas where TORS demonstrates its prowess is the oropharynx. Oropharyngeal tumors can invade parapharyngeal space (PPS) which contains vital structures such as the carotid artery, internal jugular vein, and cranial nerves IX-XII. A deeper understanding of the endoscopic anatomy of the parapharyngeal space could reduce the morbidity associated with tumor resection in this dense neurovascular area. This video-article provides a step-by-step cadaveric dissection of the lower PPS though a transoral robotic approach.
摘要：
经口机器人手术（TORS）提供了一种微创方法来解决选定且具有挑战性的解剖位置中的肿瘤。TORS展示其能力的关键领域是口咽部。口咽肿瘤可以侵入咽旁间隙（PPS），其中包含重要的结构，如颈动脉，颈内静脉,和颅神经IX-XII。更深入地了解咽旁间隙的内窥镜解剖结构可以减少与该致密神经血管区域的肿瘤切除相关的发病率。此视频文章通过经口机器人方法对较低的PPS进行了逐步的尸体解剖。
