MIS in Head and Neck Cancers

Abstract

Minimally invasive approaches like Endoscopic and Robotics in head and neck cancers has got a wide area of application in managing Oral cavity, pharyngeal, hypopharyngeal, Laryngeal tumours, Sinus & Base of skull tumours and Thyroid &Parathyroid tumours. Transoral approaches allow easy access to these secluded sites and removal of tumours with minimal complications. Till today surgery has remained the only curative modality in head and neck cancer. With the availability of Endoscopy, laparoscopy and Robotic systems patients requiring major surgeries for small tumours can now be offered surgery with limited human resources, good aesthetic& cosmetic outcome with better patient compliance. The MIS is still a grey area of head and neck surgeries so we like to have a comprehensive review on the evolution and recent advances in MIS.
