Robotic Surgery in Pediatric Otolaryngology

Abstract

ABSTRACT Robotic surgery is becoming increasingly utilized in head and neck surgery. Robotic surgery for Pediatric Otolaryngology, while still in its relative infancy, represents a new advancement that may improve outcomes and decrease morbidity associated with traditional endoscopic procedures. In this chapter, we review the utilization of robotic platforms in Otolaryngology, discuss current literature describing the use of robotic technology for Pediatric Otolaryngology, and explore potential new applications in Pediatric Otolaryngology for robotic platforms.
