Abstract
PPS space tumors are extremely rare, accounting for 0.5% of head and neck neoplasms. Trans-oral, Trans-cervical, Trans-parotid, Trans-cervical-trans-mandibular, and infratemporal are various surgical approaches that have been described for PPS tumors. Of late, with the advent of robotic surgery, Trans Oral Robotic Surgery (TORS) for PPS tumors is being increasingly advocated with promising results. To establish both efficacy and safety of Trans Oral Robotic Surgery, Five cases of pleomorphic adenoma of parapharyngeal space with sizes varying between 2.5 cm to 7.5 cm were evaluated and removed using Trans oral robotic approach using the Da Vinci system. Three were removed in toto and two in piecemeal fashion. There was capsule breach in 2 cases, no major complication was reported in any of the cases. Transoral Robotic Approach for PPS tumors can provide the much-required bridge between Transcervical and Trans mandibular Oral Approach. It provides a better direct approach. Carefully selected patients with well encapsulated tumors are more amenable to this approach.
