Outcomes in Transoral Robotic Microsurgery for Head and Neck Tumors
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: To conduct a pilot study at City of Hope (COH) which assesses the
feasibility and safety of TORS (Transoral robotic surgery), including: total operative time,
blood loss, hospitalization time, need to convert to an open procedure, intra-operative as
well as post-operative complications. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To collect data on oncologic
outcomes, disease free survival, local control rate and overall survival. II. To collect
normative data regarding objective functional outcomes (FO) which may impact quality of life
in patients undergoing TORS, including need for adjunctive procedures, such as gastrostomy
tube placement and tracheostomy placement, and with regards to speech, swallowing function
and pain, using patient-report outcomes instruments. OUTLINE: Patients undergo transoral
robotic microsurgery. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up
periodically for 5 years.
