Parapharyngeal space tumors are rare. According to the size, location, relationship with the vascular nerves, benign and malignant tumors, different surgical approaches are used. This article reviews surgical techniques, indications, complications and current advantages and disadvantages of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for resection of parapharyngeal space tumors. To provide reference for the application of TORS in parapharyngeal space tumor surgery.
咽旁间隙肿瘤少见,应根据肿瘤的大小、位置、与血管神经的关系、良恶性采用不同的手术径路。本文就经口机器人手术(transoral robotic surgery,TORS)切除咽旁间隙肿瘤的手术技巧、适应证、并发症以及目前存在的优缺点等做一综述,为以后TORS在咽旁间隙肿瘤手术中的应用提供参考。.
