Objective To investigate surgeon preferences for perioperative management of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and explore the frequency of postoperative complications. Study Design Retrospective survey. Setting Multi-institutional. Subjects and Methods An electronic survey was sent to over 300 TORS-trained surgeons in the United States identified by Intuitive Surgical, Inc. Participation was voluntary and solicited by email invitations to participate 3 times over a 1-month period. Results A…

Early preventive tracheostomy during TORS can protect airway from uncommon but potentially life-threatening complications, such as transoral hemorrhage or airway edema, and is recommended in high-risk situations,such as a past history of radiotherapy or antiplatelet therapy associated with large resections.
