Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) is a vocal cord cancer treatment where surgical tools
reach the targeted region through the mouth. A robot-assisted system could aid in such …

Laryngeal cancer treatments, while curative, often lead to voice impairment. Minimally
invasive surgical methods that facilitate greater preservation of healthy tissue have recently …

Objective To present a new computer-assisted system for improved usability, intuitiveness,
efficiency, and controllability in transoral laser microsurgery (TLM). Study Design Pilot …

Background Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) is a mature approach to supraglottic cancer,
while transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is emerging. The present study compared these …

This paper introduces a new generation of the motorized laser micromanipulator: The
computer-assisted laser microsurgery system (CALM). The system has a motorized laser …

Objectives/Hypothesis: We hypothesize that bimanual, three-dimensional robotic surgery
will prove valuable for glottic microsurgical procedures. Study Design: To test this …

Purpose In transoral laser microsurgery (TLM), the close curved cylindrical structure of the
laryngeal region offers functional challenges to surgeons who operate on its malignancies …

Background The use of lasers in transoral surgery enables precise tissue incision with
minimal adverse effects on surrounding structures. Nonetheless, the lack of haptic feedback …

Objectives/Hypothesis To evaluate gains in microlaryngeal precision achieved by using a
novel robotic “steady hand” microsurgery platform in performing simulated phonosurgical …

Trans-oral laser microsurgery (TLM) is a surgical procedure for removing malignancies (eg,
cysts, polyps, tumors) of the laryngeal region through laser ablation. Intraoperative …
