Quality and outcome considerations in robotic head and neck surgery including TORS

9th April 2026, 15:00 to 16:00 BST / 19:30 to 20:30 IST

Overview

This webinar will explore quality and outcome considerations in robotic head and neck surgery, with a particular focus on transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Faculty will discuss clinical outcomes, functional preservation, oncological safety, and complication profiles associated with robotic approaches. The session will address patient selection, peri-operative decision-making, learning curves, and multidisciplinary teamwork, while highlighting current evidence and practical challenges. Participants will gain insights into how robotic technology is shaping contemporary head and neck surgical practice and improving patient-centred outcomes.

Aims

To provide an evidence-based overview of quality and outcome considerations in robotic head and neck surgery, including TORS, with emphasis on functional outcomes, oncological safety, patient selection, and practical implementation.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this webinar, attendees should be able to:

  • Understand the role of robotic surgery and TORS in head and neck surgical practice.
  • Evaluate functional and oncological outcomes associated with robotic head and neck surgery.
  • Recognise key quality indicators and complication profiles in TORS.
  • Appreciate patient selection criteria, learning curves, and multidisciplinary team requirements.
  • Identify future challenges and opportunities in outcome-driven robotic head and neck surgery.
