Abstract

Anesthesia for otolaryngologic and head and neck surgery has been described extensively in the anesthetic literature [1, 3, 4, 10, 15, 16, 19, 21]. This chapter is designated to the unique anesthetic consideration for transoral robotic techniques. Many cases require a neck dissection to be performed before or after the TORS (see elsewhere in the atlas). Hence, we will include anesthetic considerations for neck dissection as these procedures are sequential.
