Near Future

The role of robotic-assisted surgery has increased exponentially in many surgical specialities over recent years. However, common usage within otolaryngology still appears limited. We aim to explore the alternative uses for robot-assisted surgery in benign otolaryngology, head and neck pathologies. A systematic review of the literature was performed by searching electronic databases and references libraries. 2485 papers were identified through our search. 96 studies met our inclusion criteria. Our results are categorized and displayed in table format. There are multiple novel adaptations of robotic-assisted surgery being performed across the world in benign otolaryngology, head and neck pathologies. Exciting advances in technology and availability will expand this scope even further in the near future.

Set Up

Background: Robotic-assisted and computer-assisted navigation (CAN) systems utilization has been rapidly increasing in recent years. Most existing data using these systems are performed in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine. The unique anatomy of the cervical spine maybe where these technologies have the greatest potential. To date, the role of navigation-enabled robotics in the cervical spine remains in its early stages of development and study. Purpose: This review article describes the early experience, case descriptions and technical considerations with cervical spine screw fixation and decompression using CAN and robotic-assisted surgery. Methods: Representative cervical cases with early surgical experience with cervical and robotic assisted surgery with CAN. Surgical set up, technique considerations, instrumentation, screw accuracy and screw placement were elevated and recorded for each representative cervical case. Results: Existing robotic assisted spine surgical systems are reviewed as they pertain to the cervical spine. Method for cervical reference and positioning on radiolucent Mayfield tongs are presented. C1 lateral mass, odontoid fracture fixation, C2 pedicle, translaminar, subaxial lateral mass, mid cervical pedicle, navigated decompression and ACDF cases and techniques are presented. Conclusion: In conclusion, within the last several years, the use of CANs in spinal surgery has grown and the cervical spine shows the greatest potential. Several robotic systems have had FDA clearance for use in the spine, but such use requires simultaneous intraoperative fluoroscopic confirmation. In the coming years, this recommendation will likely be dropped as accuracy improves.

Potential Risks

Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic poses an immense threat to healthcare systems worldwide. At a time when elective surgeries are being suspended and questions are being raised about how the remaining procedures on COVID-19 positive patients can be performed safely, it is important to consider the potential role of robotic assisted surgery within the current pandemic. Recently, several robotic assisted surgery societies have issued their recommendations. To date, however, no specific recommendations are available for cardiothoracic robotic assisted surgery in COVID-19 positive patients. Here, we discuss the potential risks, benefits, and preventive measures that need to be taken into account when considering robotic assisted surgery for cardiothoracic indications in patients with confirmed COVID-19. It is suggested that robotic assisted surgery might have various advantages such as early recovery after surgery, shorter hospital stay, and reduced loss of blood and fluids as well as smaller incisions. However, electrosurgical and ultrasonic devices, as well as CO2 insufflation should be managed with caution to prevent the risk of aerosolization of viral particles.
