This text will serve as a guide for both the head and neck surgeon and the general surgeon in the technical and clinical aspects of transformative transoral neck surgery. It provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of transoral approaches, including surgical indications, techniques, and outcomes. Such indications include thyroid disease, parathyroid disease, neck dissection, and other head and neck pathology. Instrumentation, setup, and the role of additional technologies such as nerve monitoring and robotics are reviewed in depth, followed by additional chapters on techniques, pearls, pitfalls, controversies, and challenging cases. The volume concludes with the current state of robotics in transoral surgery, and takes a look at future directions.

Written and edited by experts in the field, Transoral Neck Surgery will be a valuable guide for the thousands of clinicians implementing this surgery.
