Transoral robotic surgery for early T classification XXXX .

@entity5 @entity1 @entity3
BACKGROUND: For @entity5 , transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has been reported as a new organ preserving treatment but outcomes are rarely reported. METHODS: From 2010 to 2013, 10 @entity1 with early T classification @entity5 were selected to receive TORS and conventional neck dissection. The clinical parameters, including rates of adjuvant radiotherapy, survivals, as well as organ and function preservation, were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: TORS was successful in all 10 @entity1 , and 5 @entity1 received adjuvant radiotherapy. After mean follow-up of 26 months, 1 @entity1 died of distant @entity3 and 1 @entity1 died of other @entity5 . There was no local recurrence and larynxes were all preserved. Eight surviving @entity1 who were followed up continuously could receive oral intake and had a serviceable voice without tracheostomy or feeding tubes. CONCLUSION: TORS is a feasible transoral approach for selected @entity1 with early T classification @entity5 . The reported oncologic/functional outcomes are satisfactory.    2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 38: 857-862, 2016.
