Costs Versus Outcomes of Robotic Surgery of the Head and Neck

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Robotic Surgery of the Head and Neck

Abstract

Advances in oncologic technology through robotic surgery have aimed to reduce patient mortality while maintaining similar surgical outcomes as other older techniques [1]. When robotic surgery was first explored, Intuitive Surgical® developed the da Vinci surgical robot for procedures originally in urology [2]. In recent years, robotic surgery has become smoothly incorporated into head and neck oncologic surgery.
